Honke Bankyu Website not working

Hi all,
I found a ryokan where i would like to stay in Nikko, called Honke Bankyu. However their website doesn't work and I don't know how to contact them. Actually I would also like to check their website to learn more details about the rooms, onsen and how to access.
Do you have any recommendation on what to do? Does anyone maybe have their email?

It seems to be working now. Maybe it was closed for website maintenance?

I just getting the 404 forbidden message. I'd guess they have blocked ip access to outside Japan by mistake.

Hi!

It's not working for you (but working for AK) is because they are blocking non-Japanese IPs. I can't get it to work (I'm in the USA) either. But if I use NordVPN and set my IP location to Japan, the website comes up no problem.

Personally, I am not sure I would want to stay somewhere that is specifically trying to block foreign IPs. It doesn't make me feel welcome.

Here is my email address.

I have stayed once in the winter and I loved it.
If you drive a car in winter, be careful of sudden braking and sudden speed.
On my way here, I was in a car that spun.

It's not an exact translation, but if you copy and paste the sentences from the Japanese site into translation software, you'll be able to understand the general content.

I remember that long ago (more than 20 years ago) women could use the open-air bath with a view of the river, but now it seems to be for men only. (At that time, it was a mixed bath, but no men were allowed in. It is possible that women could see it from the bridge over the river, so it is possible that women were not allowed in.)
Although unrelated, the men's open-air bath can be seen from the bridge of a hotel near the Kinugawa River.

Totally agree. Surely there are other places that�fs worthy of your patronage.
I�fm noticing a lot of places are now blocking foreign visitors on their online sites. I�fd personally stay clear of such establishments.

indeed, it works with a VPN. Now I don't know what to do, I fell in love with this place but now that you mention they may not want foreigners I'm in doubt. At the same time, they offer the website in english, so it may be a mistake from their side?

I don't know the reason unless I ask the inn, but if you look at Trip Advisor, it seems that you can also make a reservation from Agoda.

It could be that they block access from certain countries with over-the-top privacy laws towards website publishers, such as EU countries. Yahoo Japan is know to block all access from the EU for that reason.
