Where to stay in Nikko

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.

This was my first all-inclusive experience, and after checking in at the front desk, I left my luggage in my room and went up to the first floor to enjoy sparkling wine, beer, and snacks. The hot springs* would have been even better if they'd brought some salt. The room felt a little old, but it was clean and well-maintained. The bath was just the right temperature, and although there was a sauna...

The location is great. We checked in around 2:30pm and were able to check in a little while later, but the lounge was so comfortable that we were able to spend a relaxing and luxurious time sipping beer and poached eggs while looking at the view. The food was served in small bowls, so it was easy to eat. I didn't like the fact that my room was on the parking lot side, but when I opened the window,...

The hotel staffs are friendly and nice. Free alcohol drink from check-in til 10.30pm! The hotel is in the remote area. It might take some time to get there. Overall is great! will visit again!

Considering the price, I felt the quality of the food was not up to par. The breakfast was well thought out and the ingredients were tasty, but dinner was lackluster. The Yonaki noodles at night were tasty, but I thought they were served as cheap Chinese noodles. I visited after the renovation and was curious, but I feel there is still room for improvement.

Truly a hidden gem. The staff were kind. I wish the dinner was a little more luxurious. The drinks are all-you-can-drink and the best.

We stay here for two night. Really enjoy and want to come back. - free bar from 7pm - 10:30 pm - breakfast is very short hour in the morning - have table tennis and dart

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.

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...

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...

The hotel is great and very convenient, just a two or three-minute walk to the JR station. On the first day, I got bitten by mountain leeches while visiting the World Heritage temple complex. Thankfully, the front desk gave me medicine to apply and bandages to stop the bleeding. I'm very grateful for the hotel's help. On the second day, you can walk to Chuzenji Onsen and climb Mount Nantai, which takes...

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Nikko Station Hotel. Its location was excellent, just a short 5-minute walk from Nikko Station, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The room was comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful recommendations provided in the lobby, which were helpful for planning my visit. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and always willing to assist. One pleasant...

Choosing this hotel for our trip to Nikko was a great decision. The price was perfect for someone on a regular budget. The hotel was clean, and its location near Tobu Nikko Station was fantastic, about 300 meters if you follow the right navigation. My navigation kept changing directions after I got off the train, so I had to ask a local shop owner for directions, and then it was easy to find. Just...

Great location for one night stay near the station. Rooms were small but expected for a hotel right in the city.

Location is excellent. Very near to Tobu Nikko station. Lots of cafes and restaurants around the area. Service of staff is excellent too. The only complain is the room size. Very small

Hope they can extrnd bfast. Bfast not bad u can make your own egg mayo sandwich :) The kitchen staff are very friendly. Room have a nice space for luggage . Will recommend! Very near to Metro station

Hotel opens at 3pm for check in. We got there a few minutes early and there were people just waiting outside to be let in. There are also no luggage storage but they provided a few paid lockers. The rooms are small but good for a short stay. The WiFi connection is not great, had it one night and the next night it was down until the next morning. There's also the free public bath facility downstairs...

Very kind receptionist and a very calm atmosphere inside the hotel. The capsule was very comfortable and clean! Also there was a bathhouse on the first floor with a hot bath which was especially convenient and very soothing after a adventurous day in the mountains!

My stay at Hotel Famitic Nikko was fantastic, and I'd highly recommend it. The location is perfect for exploring the area – just a 5-minute walk from Nikko station and conveniently situated right opposite a FamilyMart. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which always makes a stay more pleasant. One of the highlights was the onsen, which was a wonderful way to relax after a day of sightseeing...

Perfect for a solo, minimalist traveler. The bunks were perfectly cozy with an adequate amount of room both in the bunk and next to it for your gear and to change clothes. Everyone was quiet and respectful and I had no complaints during my stay. The employees were kind, polite, and helpful throughout. There was access to an onsen but I was unable to use it due to my tattoos which I understood and respected...

This is a very nice place. Though the room is small but it fits the requirements of a traveller.It is more than sufficient for single occupancy and just ok for double occupancy. But i must say the cleanliness is top notch. The room and the attached toilet was spotless. Thanks to the owner for such nice maintenance of the property.

Nice location, capsule is spacious and comfortable. Plus, opposit to big family mart

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.

It was one of my best hot spring resort experiences in Japan. Everything was perfect. Its hot spring quality was the best. I have enjoyed outdoor hot spring during a snowy early morning, which I couldn’t forget. It was so fascinating experience. Food was great and surroundings were also very beautiful. I would come back here again next summer or fall.

Website stated Dinner and breakfast will be provided But actually the hotel gave you Coupons to buy dinner box in their shop ! They should tell us the arrangement when we booked the hotel so that we could prepare our dinner before Check In ! Also , the hotel even Not provide Ciffre in the morning

A great stay near Nikko. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the hot spring was very relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The surrounding nature was beautiful and peaceful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a very pleasant experience and good value for money.

Decent and reasonably priced. They offered microwavable bento boxes since the restaurant was closed for the winter.

The hotel is quite new, and the room is very spacious. We enjoyed soaking in the hot springs at night and strolling along the Onsen street during the day. It's very close to the Yumoto Onsen Ski Resort, which was great as it was mostly locals skiing there. The only downside is that it's a bit far to get to; you have to take the bus and get off at stop number 45.

The place is next to the bus stop at No.45. In winter, there is no food service. You have to eat frozen food. Onsen is good.

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.

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...

The view was nice, but the staff couldn’t speak English. I understand that this is an old hotel. 😔

The view was nice, but the staff couldn’t speak English. I understand that this is an old hotel. 😔

It was very cheap and had all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink options, but the time limit was tight, so we couldn't relax. However, since we already knew the time limit, if we had followed it, it was a very reasonable stay and I think it was a good hotel.

A very nice old-fashioned hotel. Although it's quite old, it's very well maintained. Located in Kinugawa, the area is also very beautiful. While the autumn leaves at Lake Chuzenji were mostly gone at this time of year, Kinugawa itself was still stunning. Facilities: The outdoor facilities were a bit cold, but the room felt very well maintained. It had comfortable tatami mats and all the necessary...

A wide selection of traditional food – plenty to try. Beautiful views, especially if you book a room with a river view. The onsen facilities are very basic, but the water is pleasant! The hotel is old and in poor repair. The guests are mostly Japanese retirees. The receptionists speak almost no English.

Frankly, the food at Ohruri is not to my taste, and it's old and I wouldn't even call it clean, but if you understand all of that and just want to go to the hot springs cheaply, I think it's worth it. When I stayed at Hotel Mikazuki about three months ago, it was all-inclusive and the room was nice and clean, but in the end I didn't end up eating or drinking much, and I just wanted to take a bath in...

The staff were very attentive, as always in Japan. The breakfast was extraordinary. The only slight drawback was that we stayed Sunday night. The hotel restaurant is closed on Sunday evenings. However, there are plenty of dining options within walking distance, so it wasn't a major issue. On the plus side, we had access to the baths all night.

Comfortable stay but overall the property is a bit old and aged.

The room was clean and tidy, and the service was very enthusiastic. We arrived at the hotel late, and the hot water was already boiled in the room and the air conditioner was turned on, making us feel at home. The dinner was very rich, the Tochigi Wagyu was delicious, but there was no WiFi

Old hotel but very clean, great location, can walk to Nikko Toshogu Shrine. (Parking in that area is expensive.) If you reserve here, you can just park and walk easily. Delicious food in the evening served right in your room. In the morning, go to eat at the restaurant. The room is very comfortable, sleep well. Friendly staff

Very old school ryokan run by very friendly who has been working there for many years. Your name will be displayed on the board next to the entrance of the ryokan to show that they were currently welcoming these guests staying at the ryokan! We stayed there for 2 nights with free parking and we didn’t have to drive anywhere until we checked out as the ryokan is within walking distance to the 3 major...

Purely Japanese experience, sleeping with futon, very hearty Japanese meal, Japanese breakfast. Admirable staff. Location, right next to the temples. Just, the taps need modernization and the parking lots are opposite the hotel.

The Japanese-style room overlooking the valley was nice, and the open-air hot spring was great. If you're driving, I recommend visiting Nikko Toshogu Shrine and then staying overnight at Kinugawa Onsen.

I used to shop more than 20 years ago, but I can't compare with now. First of all, the food portions are standard now, the quality is ordinary. The biggest problem is that we haven't checked out and they want to clean up the room. The service is also ordinary, a little better than Hong Kong, and young people should accept it. But compared to before, there is a gap between heaven and earth

An old hot spring hotel with the famous staircase bridge right next door. The rooms are quite traditional Japanese style. The hot springs are divided into inside and outside. The outdoor area is relatively small but the view is great.

Big and spacious room. Had a river view room and the view during autumn was awesome. The staff were fluent in English.

If you want a traditional Japanese onsen experience with traditional Japanese cuisine this is a good place for you

Good service, reasonably priced, awesome view, very polite staff

The whole experience at this ryokan was magical. Our room with the private onsen was so comfortable and we were lucky enough to get snow on our final morning. Sitting in the onsen while it snowed outside is a memory I will be forever grateful for. The food was exceptional and the staff were so attentive and kind.

A quiet little town, the waitresses were exceptionally kind. The hot springs were very comfortable; I booked two private baths, and everything was perfect except the water was a bit cold. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. The explanations were very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a nice inn with a Showa-era feel to it. However, there were a lot of stairs, and it was painful to see elderly people struggling with the stairs and the bath. The bridge leading from the main building to the annex where we had dinner was dark and scary, like a survival zone. I was upset when I made a mistake with the kanji in my name, but I was glad that they took care of it right away. I was...

Enjoy this Traditional style onsen hotel. Good service although it is quite a bit of long 3.5 hour drive from Tokyo airport.

Really great place. Even though we had to rent a car just to get to the Hotel, we thing it worth it for 1 night. The place is very charming, you can feel you are staying in a place with a lot of history. But the best part was the service, the guy who attended us during reception, show us the room and explained the dinner was just fantastic. Thank you very much for making us feel welcome!

Absolutely gorgeous place! The diner was nothing like I've experienced before, I'm a picky eater and needed trying and enjoying all the food served, it was amazing. The atmosphere of the place and the rooms are so on point, very traditional in best way possible. The Osen bath are also great. I was there with 2 friends we had an absolute blast.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and used a variety of ingredients. Drinks were also reasonably priced. All of the staff were very friendly and made me feel at ease. The building has an old feel to it, but maybe that's part of the charm? Next time I'd like to stay for several nights and relax.

We stayed here on 7 Nov for one night after travelling from Tokyo and spending the day walking around the amazing temples in the area. We had to wait 1 hour in the cold for a taxi to get to the hotel (we should have checked since they offer a free shuttle) and we were exhausted by 8pm. The hotel is about 40 meters from the gate but the light went on immediately and we were greeted by one of the staff...

We stayed here on a family trip. This inn has a sophisticated atmosphere. The floors were waxed, so it was almost embarrassing to walk on them in shoes. The food was delicious, and eating while listening to live piano music felt luxurious. The staff were also very attentive, which was great. The hot spring baths are private, so you have to check with the front desk to see if they're available. It's...

I didn't feel any inconvenience because I was picked up from Nikko station. We stayed at the Classic Hall and were impressed by the jacuzzi bath, massage chairs and bath TV. The food was well seasoned and all were delicious, and it was a really satisfying hotel.

It is a luxury pension. Just watching from the road, but it seems like you can spend a blissful time ❗ It's a pension 🎵 Maybe 🙌 I was on TV the other day 🎵 It's pretty amazing 🙌

I used a flat type room. I relaxed with the feeling of being a completely private space. The room bath was nice, but the hot springs for rent were also the best. I didn't pass each other while I was moving to the annex, so I went in smoothly. The customer service was polite from beginning to end, and I was able to spend a wonderful time paying attention during the meal.

Not bad for the price, the service is good, there are hot springs which are good for relieving fatigue after traveling.

Nice hotel spring bath. Will come back again

The accommodation is great and the staff are lovely. You can leave your luggage both before check-in and after check-out. The facilities are complete, and tea and coffee are provided.

It was a very quiet and nice place. The bath was also very comfortable.

It was an old facility, and it was average. I wasn't particularly impressed or impressed.

Small but cosy and traditional onsen. Staff are polite and willing to help. Room size is good.

Good Japanese traditional breakfast. Good onsen in room.

I was a bit worried about the damage to the wallpaper and floor, but other than that it was great. Thank you very much.

Overall it was good but the water pressure in the shower was poor

The customer service was very good. However, the shower in the room was unusable. Also, the toilet wouldn't flush if the water was running somewhere in the room.

This was my first time using this hotel. I was a bit worried because the exterior looked old, but the interior had been renovated and was clean, with the atmosphere of a resort hotel. There was an open-air hot spring bath on the balcony, which I enjoyed.

It was great to have an open-air bath in the room ^_^ The large communal bath had a sauna, and I was impressed with the spectacular view from the open-air bathing space ✨ The buffet was delicious and amazing ♪ I want to go again ^_^
