3 star hotels in Nikko

We used this hotel for a family trip. We had a wonderful time, from the meals to the rooms. Our whole family was very satisfied. Thank you. Regarding the location, I rated it this way because our room was on the mountain side.

The all-inclusive package was the best! 👍 I used it multiple times whenever I wanted. There were so many food options, I was spoiled for choice, haha. The sashimi was also fresh and delicious.

Although the rooms are a bit dated, they are spacious and very clean, perfect for families or friends. The breakfast and dinner buffets are both plentiful and delicious, with a wide variety of options to satisfy all age groups.

It would have been nice to have a Zaisu (legless chair) in the room. The food had a great variety and was delicious. The free lounge also offered a good selection, which was a plus. Even though the hotel was old, it was clean.

We were very happy with everything the hotel provided. If there is shuttle bus between the hotel and kinugawaonsen station, it would be perfect for foreign tourists who travel by train and bus.Buffet dinner is wonderful.

The room was nice and clean. The futons are very comfy. Buffet dinner is a must!!!

Location is about 12 mins walk from train station, quite a long walk. Hotel provides shuttle service at 300yen, which requires advance reservation. Dinner and breakfast are buffet style with a good spread. I booked a traditional style room and it has a nice view of the river. I enjoyed the hotel and onsen, very relaxing.

The open-air bath only had two showers, which was inconvenient when it was crowded. For breakfast, there's a DIY rice bowl station where you can add your favorite toppings. They have tuna, other seafood, and even grated yam and other sticky ingredients, so you can easily have multiple bowls in the morning.

It's an old hotel but the room was quite big by Japanese standard, also clean and comfortable. The buffet dinner and breakfast had a good variety of food. But the outdoor bath was disappointing. Another minus point is availability of WiFi in the lobby only and not in the rooms.

It's a 10-minute walk from Kinugawa Onsen Station, and you can book the hotel's shuttle bus for your return trip to the station the next day after check-out. The room was quite spacious and comfortable, and the hotel isn't far from the iconic Big Staircase. The dinner buffet was plentiful, making this a great value-for-money option in the area.

I think this hotel is absolutely fantastic! It's very cozy and comfortable to stay in. The food is buffet style with a wide variety of choices, and they keep refilling everything constantly, so you don't have to worry about missing out. The hot spring is also huge! I will definitely come back to stay and enjoy it again next time.

Excellent place. A wide variety of options.

It was amazing! They really had everything. The dining room was huge and they gave us 90 minutes. There was a huge variety of delicious food and drinks, including alcohol. There were also several onsen baths, both indoor and outdoor. It was definitely worth a visit for relaxation. It was mostly Japanese families; there weren't many foreign tourists, which was nice and peaceful.

Since I was traveling with elderly people, it was difficult to get to meals and the large public bath. The location of the room was disappointing as it overlooked the station and not the river. The shoji screens separating the rooms were covered in dust. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly.

The hotel is large, clean, and the food is delicious. It's perfect for a family vacation.

This is a popular all-inclusive resort! We stayed on a Saturday, but the various play areas and pool facilities were spacious and relaxed, so it didn't feel crowded at all. The dining area was in one place, so there was a problem with the flow of food, so we had to wait in line, but we arrived a little early so we managed. The hot springs were also very nice. There was a mistake in entering the child...

The food was delicious and the hotel ambience so relaxing , we enjoyed our stay, our second time stay that hotel. we difinitely book again..❣️

The buffet had a good selection, but because we stayed on the weekend, there was a line of about 30 people at the buffet entrance, and we had to line up again to get our meals, which was a bit disappointing. The facilities and customer service were impeccable.

This property is very close to “Nikko” in Japan so it’s situated in a very scenic part of the country . I was the only foreigner staying ( at least as far as I could tell ) but that didn’t matter the interactions I had with non English speaking staff were both warm and helpful . In particular a young lady Ms Henmi she was outstanding , she gave me directions on how to best get to my next port of call...

The hotel rate is good value even though it was high season.The room is so big and comfort. There were beds and tatami zone.The view is mountain.It takes 5 minutes walk from train station.They have an onsen.The restaurant food is delicious.

The onsen hotel is near Tobu World Square station. The staff were incredibly helpful. I went to the wrong building, but they walked me to the correct one. I left my backpack there before check-in time, and when I returned in the evening, it was still in my room. The room was very spacious. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious. The staff even offered to take photos for me. The hotel has...

There were a lot of bugs. The hot springs were great.

The breakfast buffet was delicious. I especially liked the miso soup, suiton, and yuba. I was glad to be able to eat a lot of vegetables.

A typical onsen hotel provides a good service to customers. Onsen is good with good facilities. A good experience in my trip in Japan.

The hotel is very close to the train station, about a 10-minute walk. Dinner is buffet style. If you have time, I highly recommend visiting Ryuo Gorge, and the hotel's hot spring is also excellent.

Hotel has a nice onsen (indoor and outdoor). Staff are helpful. When requsted for a fruit knife, i am impressed that staff handed to me in a second. Room was spacious and all of us slept so well. Room was totally quiet . No sound from cars, electrical stuff . We drove a rental car there and theres free parking opp the hotel .

Ryokan-style hotel, clean, good location, peaceful, with free onsen access.

The hotel's breakfast and dinner were both excellent, featuring dishes like Tempura ,sashimi, fruit, cakes, and meats traditional Japanese dishes .It would be better if they offered a pick-up service from the train station, which is about a 10-12minute walk away. It’s hard when you pull the luggage and it’s cobblestone road.

Room is spacious. Onsen outdoor one of the side is nicer. Buffet is not bad. Relaxing!

This hotel is recommended. Great buffets with variety of options (japanese, western, tempura, wagyu). Fruit taste was not as good as we expected though and you might not feel excited much about the food after a couple days as they’re pretty much the same. Wonderful public baht with generous amenities provided. Pajama is not needed if you enjoy wearing yukata and sock when sleeping at night as we did...

It was my first time staying here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was all-inclusive, so I was always full, and table tennis and karaoke were free. The bath had a great view, so I used it three times! I would definitely like to stay here again.

The complimentary alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, and ice cream were excellent. The dinner and breakfast buffets had a wide variety of options, so it was hard to decide what to order, but everything was delicious. I wish we had had a little more time for breakfast. I wanted to eat at a leisurely pace. The curry udon I ate in front of the fireplace for dinner was a real relief. The room was comfortable...

I went for a massage at the hotel. It was the worst massage. She didn't intend to massage, just rubbed and rubbed very lightly. The massage therapist seemed Chinese. She couldn't speak Japanese very well. She could only speak a little, which was hard to understand. And it wasn't a massage. She didn't seem to know how to massage. The massage room was unclean. The pillow that was used to put my face...

There was a decent selection of food, but the quality of each item was not as good as I expected. The location was a little far from the city center, so it felt inconvenient. I was satisfied with the size and facilities of the room. The bath was on the top floor, so the view was amazing.

The hotel was clean overall, but the room seemed a little lacking in cleaning... Also, the floor was a little wobbly when carrying the food with the food cart...

The view from the bath was amazing. The food was delicious too.

The hotel is beautiful, has a great atmosphere, and excellent service, but it's a bit far and not suitable for those without a car. The food was delicious.

The hotel is old, so it feels worn, but the hot springs and food were really good. I plan to come back again.

There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it convenient to Yumoto and Lake Chuzenji. The hotel receptionist spoke near-native English, making communication seamless and friendly. The room was spacious, with a large meadow outside the window. At night, I could see many wild deer grazing outside. The food was delicious, and the open-air hot spring was also very nice.

The hotel is in oku nikko which surrounded by nature. If you love nature or snow in winter. This is a perfect place to stay. Outside Onsen also surrounded by snow but unfortunately we cannot see the star that day.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. You have several activity right outside of the hotel and can take the bus to do some more. The room we had was big and comfortable.

It was fully booked when we stayed there but we didn't feel the crowd. Quiet and peaceful, a great place to stay if you are visiting the Oku-nikko area. Easier to access for those who self drive. Meals are fantastic and very filling, staff are polite and efficient, our Japanese style family room with private bathroom was clean and well furnished, although the bathroom was very small. They provided...

Great customer service with very modern and clean amenities, price is decent but it is a bit far from the central of Nikko. There are free tea, coffee and instant miso soup available at the communal area/ lobby. The room is very clean, well designed with a nice garden view. I really enjoy my stay there, would recommend to my friends and family.

Lovely hotel. The female receptionist is so kind. It is a little far from the station and main roads, but ok if you have a car. The shower and bed was excellent. It has free tea and coffee but you need to buy your own breakfast things from 7/11. Most outside breakfast places open at 9am or 10am and were nothing special. There is an excellent steak place 400m uphill from the restaurant, but you need...

Everything was fine. There is no food sold in the hotel and it’s a bit far away from the circuit. We had to use several taxis.

Excellent hotel and very high quality. Excellent location for trips in the area, large room clean and very pleasant. The hotel staff is excellent, pleasant, always smiling, helpful and with a positive attitude. Many thanks to the lovely staff and especially to Sakanushi the lovely one who tried very hard and helped me surprise my wife on her birthday. Thank you very much. Highly recommend staying at...

Slightly out of the way but hotel was comfortable. Would be better if there were more shuttle bus timings though. Staff were nice especially kikuchi! He went above and beyond to ensure that we made it in time so we could purchase what we needed

Amazing hotel! Best one I've stayed at during my Japan trip. I really recommend it.

Close to the train station, making bus travel convenient. The hotel has a hot spring, and we usually went around 3 PM when it was empty, which was very relaxing. Breakfast is provided, and since we're used to Japanese-style breakfasts, it was perfectly fine for us.

The location is super convenient, just a 3-minute walk from Tobu-Nikko Station and a 1-minute walk opposite Nikko JR Station. It's really easy to get to all the attractions by bus, highly recommended! Plus, there's a hot spring public bath.

Great location, right opposite the station, perfect for dropping off luggage and exploring Nikko. It was also an excellent choice for catching the early morning bus to Akechidaira during the autumn foliage season. The service was excellent, and booking in advance gave us great value for money!

The location is super, it’s opposite JR Nikko and a short walk from Tobu Nikko station. One big plus is the onsen. The hotel is jaded, you can tell from the light switches but the cleanliness is more or less there. Breakfast spread is sadly lacking.

Convenient place. It’s just a 5min walk from the Tobu Nikko station (the station you would arrive in if you rode over from Asakusa). It’s a premium stay that has a public bath. In the rooms you have even lotions and face washes and overall the hotel feels very new. The breakfast that comes with the stay is decent. Had vege curry with rice, hard boiled eggs, salad, bread with jam, fresh milk.  It’s...

This hotel is perfectly located right next to Tobu Nikko Station, just a short walk away, making it ideal for exploring the World Heritage sites. It's a large hotel with many rooms and excellent hygiene. The public onsen area is cozy and comfortable. The front desk conveniently provides toiletries, toothbrushes, and basic skincare sets. The simple Western-style breakfast is refreshing, and I really...

Massage chair, Oden and Drinks Bar is awesome!

I had intended to go for a day trip, but I got tired so I ended up staying overnight at the last minute. I booked this hotel on a whim, but it was a wonderful one. It's old, but that's what makes it so charming, and the bath, the welcome drink of draft beer, and the food were all fantastic, so I've vowed to definitely come back. Unexpectedly, I was able to see the fireworks from my room. The man with...

I got a little lost trying to find the place, but once I got there I had a comfortable stay. I was also very happy that it was close to Kinugawa Station, so I could do some shopping there.

The hotel environment is very good, the food is often rich, and the staff are friendly and service-oriented.

It was hard to find, so I had to search around for it. For dinner, we had crab, which was great, considering we're in a landlocked prefecture. The baths were also great, with daytime and nighttime baths. The room was a four-person room, I think, but we shared it with two people. We doubled up on the futons and it was very comfortable. For breakfast on the second day, we made our own original seafood...

Very good a hot spring hotel, first check in after free drinks, coffee juice beer, and snacks, the room is not big but enough, dinner buffet is very rich, there are long leg crab peony shrimp, hot food options are also many, wine is unlimited all-you-can-drink

The hotel has an antique charm, reminiscent of an old luxury hotel, and is quite clean and tidy. The only minor issues were the metal room doors, which caused static electricity in winter, and the lake view being a bit obscured by trees, which was a shame. The Japanese breakfast was incredibly rich and exquisite, definitely worth the extra cost.

Everything was comfortable. The hot springs in particular had the best quality. The food was also delicious. The shuttle bus was convenient, and they would provide additional buses if there were a large group.

Located at the innermost part of Lake Chuzenji, this hotel boasts first-class scenery and environment. It features indoor and outdoor hot springs, and offers complimentary coffee and tea from afternoon to evening. Guests can enjoy tranquility while gazing at the lake. The breakfast environment and food are excellent, and a shuttle bus is available to Nikko Station.

The hotel's location, right in front of Nikko Toshogu Shrine and close to Shinkyo Bridge, is excellent! The free hotel tours offered as a special benefit to guests are also fun, making it worth staying at this classic hotel. The food in the main dining room is both special and memorable.

Great hotel, excelent value of money, great onsen, very good breakfast

A nice place to relax and enjoy your vacation. Good hot spring and comfortable environment.

Excellent hotel! Highly recommend! Everything was great.

Clean hotel with open-air onsen. Breakfast with a great view of the autumn foliage, even spotted monkeys! Enjoyable relaxing stay. Lobby also has free drinking lounge, superb!! 👍🏼😊 Free shuttle service to Tobu-Nikko station.

The room was better than I expected. I heard it's a historic hotel, so it must have been renovated; it looked quite new. I stayed on the first floor, and the open-air bath was so beautiful—you could step right outside!

We used this as a simplified version of our honeymoon. We were able to relax in a calm atmosphere. We thought it was a little pricey since we were staying over a long weekend, but we were very satisfied with the quality of the hot spring water.

It was my first time using it and overall it was good, but a little old.

A nice hotel just by the lake. The onsen had a beautiful momiji tree and the view from the room was pretty good. We enjoyed our food and had a good rest overall.

Very good and friendly service from the hotel staff. Good hot spring bath with both internal bath and external open air bath. Excellent food for dinner and breakfast with many dishes. Wonderful view of the forest, mountains and river from my room.

Beautiful onsen. Every single person working there was really nice and helpful.

I booked this hotel through Trip.com and the pictures of the room I chose included a spa. I got to the hotel and although the room was big, japanese style, it didn't include the spa. The hotel was quite expensive and I was really hoping to relax in the spa. I complained in the reception, but the staff barely spoke English. I got really disappointed as one of the staff members started laughing at my...

The hot spring was just okay, pretty standard. Cleanliness was a major concern for me; the bed sheets felt quite grimy, possibly due to the high humidity. On the bright side, the location was excellent: attractions were within walking distance, and a bus stop right outside made sightseeing incredibly convenient. I might be overthinking it, but both the room I was assigned and the dining spot we were...

While we opted for a room-only plan this time, we would absolutely love to book a stay with breakfast and dinner included on our next visit. Despite it being a room-only booking, the location was superb, and our entire family had a truly wonderful time. Thank you very much.

4.5 stars!  Property is older but extremely well maintained.  The corner western/Japanese rooms are spacious with two western beds and tatami area, single japanese bath and shower area and separate toilet area, mini fridge, tv, sitting area overlooking the river and table with four chairs as well as a massage chair!  Onsen area has both indoor and outdoor areas separate for men and women and a cold...

It's located very close to the Kinu Tateiwa Suspension Bridge. I woke up just before 6am and when I opened the curtains, the morning sun bathed me in a truly divine view. When I opened the door, I was greeted by the sounds of the river flowing and the birds singing, which was very soothing. I took a walk across the suspension bridge and was greeted by Kinuta standing nearby. Another five minutes' walk...

The facilities are old but well-maintained. I thought it was interesting that you could reserve private baths and various entertainment options. Maybe the walls are thin, but I was surprised to hear conversations from outside or the next room. It's nice that the suspension bridge is just a short walk away. The view was amazing.

We stayed as a family of four. We were able to use the hotel's facilities, such as the pool and table tennis, for free, and had a great time. There were a lot of guests with children, so the shared areas and dining halls in the hotel were very lively, but our room was quiet and we enjoyed the view, so we were able to relax. I think this is a hotel where people with and without children can relax. At...

The hotel was very comfortable and well-equipped with amenities such as a buffet, karaoke, and table tennis! It's a lovely hotel and affordable, so I'd love to come back!

The facilities were a little old, but the kids enjoyed playing there. The price is reasonable, so it's a good choice for a family trip with kids.

Honestly, given the low price that provides 2 meals and onsen experiences, I think it is quite good for value, but of course the building is very old and rather broken (although it is still usable). But then, it will take an hour to go to Nikko and the surrounding area isn't interesting to visit, just to stay in this hotel is not a very good option especially if you want to go hiking in Nikko.

Recommended the staff is very nice too🥰

The buffet has a wide variety of food, but it seems to be outsourced and pre-made. They've renovated the old facilities, but nothing is wasted and they're environmentally friendly. The water is lukewarm, so I recommend taking a long bath.

The food🍴 was great, the bath was okay, but there was one unfortunate thing I forgot to mention to the front desk. There was a large centipede in my room. I don't like killing things, so I put some insect repellent outside the room.

The breakfast and dinner buffets had a wide variety of options, and the steaks, sashimi, salmon roe, etc. were of high quality and more luxurious than the price would suggest, which was very good. The hot spring and hotel facilities were very old except for the front desk, and the water pressure in the hot spring showers was extremely weak. Depending on the time of day, the temperature of the hot spring...

Good atmosphere, delicious food, and a relaxing hot spring.

I felt there were issues with cleaning the edges of the rooms, such as near windows and on the restaurant floor.

This hotel is special because everything is handmade. I love that local artists and craft is supported here and would live to see more of that around Japan.

We liked the hotel very much. It surely needs renovation in some areas, but you forget about this, because the hotel service is very good. The staff is very helful and welcoming, many free amenities are provided: yukata clothes for kids for all ages, socks for geta shoes, face sheet masks for ladies. Futons are very cosy, kaiseki dinner was worth it, but if your kids do not like Japanese style food...

I like the parking lot, it has a roof so it doesn't get snowed on. The food is delicious and of good quality.

A lovely hotel with a great onsen. Traditional Japanese breakfast was delicious! Not much going on around the hotel though restaurant-wise, it’s definitely easier coming with a car.

Very friendly staff and older hotel are very clean 

A long-established hot spring hotel! Including breakfast and dinner, it’s really cost-effective! The food is super delicious, from sashimi to small pots! Strawberry wine for appetizer, hot tea and dessert after meal! The hot springs are also quite good. We are a family of four adults with children, and we had a very satisfying stay! I've stayed in many hotels before that were twice as expensive as...

We had a great time in Nikko. The hotel is clean, very refined, rooms are great and the sentō is just amazing!

To my surprise, many of the hotel staff spoke English, which greatly facilitated communication. Considering the price I paid, the service and food quality were excellent. Impeccable.

Great place to stay in Nikko in terms of comfort, service and location. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Beautifully decorated place, very clean. Onsen with views. Only a few steps away from the bus stop so location isn't too bad either.

Amazing hotel next to the river. Big room, friendly staff, onsen, great location. We loved this place!

I've lost.my bag in the bus when I arrived at the hotel. I immediately seek the hotel staffs for help. They were very helpful and making calls to the places that I've may have left it. Train station, bus company. Lastly, was very lucky to have found it back. Someone picked up and passed it to the bus driver. In Japan, there's always a chance of finding back lost item. It's very safe.

It’s our first time visiting Nikko. The hotel is quite a distance from Nikko station so walking is not an option (take bus 2A/2C) and stop at stop number 11. Then, walk 5mins upslope to the hotel. The friendly receptionist spoke basic english. There were 2 smoking booths at floor 3&4. The onsen(both indoor and outdoor) was a nice experience. As there were few guest, I had the whole onsen all to myself...

Traditional Japanese hot spring hotel, the door still uses a key, the room is spacious, the decoration is old-fashioned but clean, you can see the stream outside the window. The hotel has two hot springs, indoor and outdoor, both of which are very comfortable. When checking out, you need to pay 350 yen (I forgot the exact price) after the hot spring, which I personally think is negligible. The room...

The location was great, it was close to Nikko Toshogu Shrine so it felt like a stroll.

A quaint Japanese-style hotel, located on a quiet road. The meals are delicious and traditional. The front desk staff are very friendly. The hotel provides station shuttle service. The overall accommodation experience is very good. I will choose it again next time I have the opportunity to go to Nikko. Stay here.

Staff are friendly and nice. Onsen is clean and not crowd at all!

Staff are friendly and nice. Onsen is clean and not crowd at all!

Beautiful tasteful high ceiling public bath . Very relaxing when talking the bath while facing a large forest. The Japanese-style rooms are clean and the bedding is comfortable. The price is very reasonable.

Great value for money, and the room was spacious, which I really appreciated. All the necessary amenities were provided, so my stay was very comfortable. The large public bath was clean and satisfying, and I was pleasantly surprised that they offered a shuttle service to use the public bath at their sister hotel.

This place is perfect for family road trips, especially with the ample parking available. The rooms are spacious too, we had a great time!

Great hotel. Lovely onsen and private onsen which was great as I have tattoos. Authentic Japanese vibe. Polite and helpful staff, I would return.

The location is good and very convenient for traveling by car. The staff have a great service mindset. The onsen and public bath are excellent. The room is clean. This hotel is highly recommended.

A cozy and spacious hotel in Nikko. A bit of a walk from the station when you have a lot of luggage. Staff did not speak English. The rooms were large and allowed for many extra beds if needed. The large windows allowed for great morning views of the mountains. The onsen is in a separate building but was nice to have. The lobby also has some sitting areas, a manga room, massage chairs and good vending...

Well located hotel with nice onsen - including option to book a private one. Fantastic breakfast and great access to sights around. Friendly staff and great place to disconnect and relax in an authentic way.

Stayed 3 nights here. Great bath and convenient location it is close to the temple and shrine, right next to Shinkyo. Delicious breakfast and dinner. The rooms slightly old but staff very helpful

This hotel is absolutely wonderful! Opening the window, you're greeted with a stunning view of red maple trees. The food is also exceptional; there are countless small dishes and bowls, and you'll definitely leave feeling completely full. The hot springs are incredibly relaxing too, and you can enjoy them anytime.

we really enjoyed the breakfast - a must have here. cute garden and the location is perfect, close to the temple.

Nikko Hoshino Yado was, without a doubt, the most stunning chapter of our trip. It's much more than just a hotel; it's a living temple of Japanese aesthetics. The beauty of its garden is comparable to the renowned Ruriko-in – the same interplay of light and shadow, the same myriad shades of autumn leaves, but with an added sense of private immersion. Staying in a room with a view of the autumn foliage...

The room was fantastic, very Japanese-style, and the onsen (hot spring) was truly unique. Even months after returning home, I still fondly remember how relaxing it was. The breakfast was absolutely perfect, with a wide variety of dishes, each exquisitely prepared. The overall experience was a perfect 10!
