Nikko Toshogu Koyoen in Nikko

This is a traditional Japanese inn—very clean, with diligent and responsible staff, and incredibly generous meals. The only minor downsides are that coffee service in the morning starts a bit late, and the building itself is somewhat dated.

The staff were friendly and very helpful throughout our stay and made every effort to accommodate our needs. We really enjoyed the food, it was excellent as were all the catering staff.

Great stay at this traditional Japanese hotel! Property is older but clean and kept in good condition. Staff is excellent. They go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of during your stay such as booking your shuttle each morning for drop off / pick-up from town, breakfast and dinner times.

Meals are traditional Japanese

The location is about a 10-minute drive from the station, and a shuttle service is available. The hot spring water is of good quality; however, due to the limited number of rooms, the number of people bathing in the hot spring is usually only in the single digits. The food is plentiful, and the service is attentive. If I visit Nikko again, I would stay here again.

We were glad to stay at Nikko Toshogu Koyoen. Firstly, the service was pleasant and warm-hearted. Our Japanese-style room reservation (dinner + breakfast) was comprised of Kaiseki dinner either! (There was no notice about such a nice option when we booked the room.) The price for one night was quite reasonable (compared to other ryokans nearby). Moreover, it was the only onsen within 5 bus stops from Tobu-Nikko station (really convenient, if compared to ryokans in Kinugawa which takes one hour by train). You are also able to apply for ryokan's transfer (We were not told about the option in advance, so we used transfer the next day to get from the ryuokan to Tobu-Nikko station.) You might get the impression that the hotel is stuck in the 80s, but the service, Kaiseki, cozy rooms, and the onsen make you forget all about it.

The food was delicious. I would definitely like to stay again.

A traditional Japanese hotel, the package includes one night and two meals. The food and portion sizes are very thoughtful, the room is quite large, and although a little old, it is still well maintained. The hot spring is a highlight and worth soaking in. Although the hotel is named Toshogu, it is still some distance away from Toshogu, so you must pay special attention to this. 

Quiet! The breakfast and dinner are so rich that I am not hungry at noon after eating a full meal in the morning, hahahaha, the hot spring is so comfortable, and there is free coffee in the lobby, which is great

Great breakfast and dinner. Loved the onsen as well.
