Chugushi, Lake ChuzenjiOn our lists
Hatago Nagomi is a small inn in Chugushi, the village at the eastern end of Lake Chuzenji, a few steps from the water and a short walk from Kegon Falls. The rooms on Expedia are Western twins, some with a lake view, rather than tatami rooms, so it suits travellers who want ryokan dinners without sleeping on futons.
The usual plan is dinner and breakfast: a kaiseki dinner and a breakfast buffet. There is a shared hot-spring bath. Guest scores on Expedia are among the highest at the lake, and the price for a twin with breakfast sits well below the big lakeside hotels.
The baths
A shared hot-spring bath; no private baths are listed.
Getting around
In Chugushi village by the lake, close to the buses down the Irohazaka road to Nikko town.
