Excellent stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we'll not hesitate to book again. The staff were helpful and very welcoming. The hotel is very well located and we had a magnificent view from our bedroom of the mountain stream and forest.

The location was very good - across the street from the shrines. Also, close to the bus stop if you want to take a bus to the waterfall/lake. The room had a beautiful river and hill view, but our room smelled a bit weird because of the enclosed private onsen. The dinner and breakfast were awesome!

A perfect stay in Nikko
Wonderful hotel, staff and location. We felt so welcome and cared for, everyone was so friendly! The location was perfect, all of the highlights were within walking distance. We didn't have a car and it was never an issue. The food was exquisite, and the onsen next to the river was amazing. Highly recommend!

One of the best hotel experiences of my life.
This is probably the best hotel in Nikko and one of the best hotels in Japan... The rooms and the service and the food and just everything are absolutely perfect and the location is amazing and the views of the river are incredible. Jaescon is an incredible employee who always makes for a wonderful experience. we have stated this hotel twice this year and are already planning our trip for 2020!

Great ryokan hospitality, friendly staff (including English speakers), beautiful views of the river and hillside from our room (and all rooms, I believe), and a pleasant indoor/outdoor onsen...in short, everything we could have wanted from our stay in Nikko. The meals were elegant, seasonal, authentic Japanese foods. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Nikko. It's easy to walk to the major local sights.

The worst price to value ratio ever! We have stayed at several ryokans in the past, so are no strangers to the concept or pricing. Given the price we paid, we were totally taken aback at the rundown condition of this hotel. It should be rated 2 stars. It is located on a busy street near the world heritage site, with the river on the back side. The exterior is unattractive and in dire need of a paint job. The lobby is equally depressing, with a large kitchy gift shop and a tiny check-in desk. The entire property is severely dated and in need of a major renovation. Our room had water stains on the walls. There wasn’t a proper shower, just a plastic hand held in the middle of a room where the tub was (which was not a hot spring tub). We love Japanese food and trying new things, but both the breakfast and dinner were horrible. On the positive side, it was nice hearing the rushing river from our window, and they picked us up at the train station on time as arranged. However, the overall experience was so bad that we wanted to cancel our second night with a refund, and after several back-and-forth’s with the manager he graciously allowed this.

Beautiful location, overall expensive
the price wa extremely high (we paid the same as for 3 days in Kyoto) Yes, we selected the room with private tab on the balcony, and breakfast and dinner were included. We were not impressed with the food, the quantity was ok, but the quality was very simple. Good food, but nothing compared with some of the great culinary experiences we had during our holiday in Japan.

I instructed the staff that I had a peanut allergy and had to avoid eating some items. Even after being assured that nothing in my breakfast had peanuts I found something which gave me a strong reaction. It’s a good thing I was alert and spit it out before it developed into a serious issue. The problematic item might have been a different kind of bean than a peanut so I told them that whatever it is they should avoid it for guests with peanut allergies because it would have been very bad for someone with a serious allergy. The condition of the hotel was a bit dated and shabby. Many fixtures have spots, rust, dust and corrosion. The bath was nice. The cuisine is traditional Japanese which was very challenging to eat. The staff were overly anxious about us and hovered and pressured us during the meal because they were worried we wouldn’t use the hot coals soon enough. If you like hiking the National Park is very close by. But it was late and we didn’t go. The road is very narrow and has a lot of traffic, making jaunts from the hotel a bit hazardous.

Traditional ryokan with excellent food/ location
First time to stay in a traditional ryokan after visiting Japan scores of times on business. This hotel has wonderful setting and staff. Dinner and breakfast were traditional Japanese food and excellent. Coffee available in lobby. My wife enjoyed the roof top onsen with gorgeous view of river and mountain[ which our room #407} also had.

Luxurious ryokan close to all the sites
My partner and I booked a private bath room here for 2 nights. The room was very spacious and clean, and we had the best nights sleep here of our whole holiday! The ryokan is literally across the road from the main temples in Nikko and a short walk to the main street in town. The breakfasts and dinners were a real highlight. The food was absolutely delicious, and gives you a real taste of Japan as it's all traditional. The staff were all very helpful and more than happy to help with anything and everything. If you don't book a room with a private bath there are public baths upstairs for all guests to enjoy.

Nice Superior Room!
Had a great time at this hotel. It is walking distance to the Shrine and has a nice view of the river. I especially liked the Superior room with open air bathtub overlooking the river. The room was huge and very modern. Other family members stayed in the more normal rooms and said their bathrooms were not updated and their rooms were not as nice. The meals were downstairs and we had a private room for the 7 of us. Both breakfast and dinner were large and very good. Overall, I would stay here again. If you can afford it, book the superior room. I think it was worth it.

Relaxing Getaway
Room was amazing. Very clean, lots of room. The dinner and breakfasts were kaiseki, which may not be for everyone, but the quality of the food was excellent. The main drawcard of the room though, was the balcony hot spring, which was fantastic. I can't remember a more relaxing trip. Looking forward to visiting again.

Great night at Nikko
Had a lovely stay at this Ryokan which is located a few minutes away from the main Shrine complex area, and is also withing walking distance to the town area and the Kanmangafuchi Abyss area. Great food, and thoroughly enjoyed the onsen in our spacious room. Their public onsens are great too, though the outdoor one on the roof is not very private as one side faces the adjacent road. Service is above average too, though we have come across more amazing ones in other ryokans we have stayed at.

Great Stay
This place is very centrally located. Our room looked out on the creek and mountains. You can't beat the view from the bath in our room. It was excellent. We took 3 baths during our one night stay! This place also had the best food we had on our trip. Others mentioned a lack of English, but we found many employees who spoke English so we had no issues. The only issue we experienced was that the futons were too hard for us. We slept on futons our entire trip, but these were the hardest we came across. Otherwise, the service, food, and location are excellent. Definitely recommend this ryokan.

Would stay here again
We were a party of 3 staying overnight cos we wanted to take out time to sightsee. Location - we took the regular sightseeing bus and the hotel was a short walk away from the bus stop. You can ask the JR travel info counter at Tobu-nikko station on how to get there. That was the train station we arrived in. - about 10min walk to Shinkyo bridge and the wooded area with the shrines and about 15min walk to the Imperial Villa Memorial Park. With the cool weather it wasnt much effort at all. - the stream and hillside is exactly as pictured (minus season changes) and the stream wasnt loud with the windows closed. Food - breakfast and dinner was delicious - there is a Lawsons about 7 min walk away so you can get your snacks and drinks if you need any Onsen - not sure if it was actual hot spring water but other than that it was a hot bath

Nice view and convenient location
The location is nearby toshugu shrine within 15 mins walking distance. We took a cab from JR nikko station to the hotel in about 10- 15 mins drive cost about 1200 yen. They have a free shuttle pick up from JR station if you arrange with them earlier, but the shuttle service after check out is limited to a few timing before 10am. They don't serve dinner in the room and we have to eat in their restaurant in separate private room. Onsen is not too hot and comfortable, you can see mountain and river view from the onsen. The staffs are friendly and helpful but not in good English. We took long time to figure out what they were saying most of the time. Overall it was a nice stay.

Decent ryokan
Good ryokan at a relatively decent price given fancy breakfast and dinner included. The onsen is small but clean and pleasant. It takes a 40 minute bus ride to get to the best hiking in the mountains.
