The walk to the station was about 9 minutes but besides that the room was great. It supplied every need. I asked the wife how long the hotel had been opened since everything was like new but she didn’t know. Everything comes with remote control including heated floors and was very modern. I was impressed. If you are looking for a VERY comfortable stay in Nikko this is the choice.

No early check in, fine. But zero place to store luggage. We were asked to rent a locker at the train station to store our luggage in which we just walked about from. We were then told to order a taxi in which none were available. All this was done over a tablet with a 3rd party that just repeated, I'm very sorry with ZERO help as to even leave our bags in our room which was clean and technically ready to go. Terrible service all around!

Overly bureaucratic check in process.

Comfortable stay with a well equipped kitchen and we enjoyed the spa bath. However, it was let down in a couple of respects - the floor was not as clean as it could have been and there was very limited hanging space. Also, although the communication prior to arrival was clear the check in process itself was unnecessarily bureaucratic and time consuming. Having registered each member of our party online prior to arrival we then, on arrival, still needed to submit individual photos of each member of our party (presumably to validate against the previously submitted passport photos) and then had to contact the reservations team to get confirmatory approval of check in.

Just a tip for those like us who are new to "no-receptionist check-in" stay-in/hotel/motel, make sure to check your email for the Room Number and Security Code. We got our "room information" via email, sent two days before the start of our stay. I highly suggest to arrive at location and check-in as early as allowed to give ample time to rectify any issues, and to pre-register/check-in. For example, in our case, we booked this December 2024 and it's snowing in Nikko, we arrived at our room around 6:30 PM and it's really cold. Without the room code, or if there was an issue, we could have been stranded out in the open. This place is walkable from the two train stations: the JR Nikko Station and the Tobu Nikko Station. It is a lot closer to JR Nikko Station, by about 2 min walk so it's still a good 10min-15min walk from either stations. If you have a lot of luggages (or really heavy ones), I recommend to book a taxi to get to the location since the path/road has a lot of uneven areas. There is a nearby 7-Eleven that is open 24hrs, it's a decent store and have available food, drinks and other essential amenities. The place is clean, great onsen, decent kitchen, nice shower. My only complaint is the isolated toilet, as there is no separate faucet that has "warm" water for washing hands. In our room, the "faucet" is built to the toilet bowl, and water pours down during the flush but it is so cold, and the faucet stops after the flushing stops.

Don't be afraid to book this place. Unlike the previous reviews which I also read, we didn't get stranded outside and check in was a breeze! Make sure to check your email the night before you arrive! A key code and check in instructions are all there. It took 5 minutes to check in on the tablet once inside since I filled out the registration (link found in the email) prior to arriving. The link will ask you to for the names and a picture of your pasport of each guest. Providing your pasport is not unusual in Japan. Every hotel will ask you to make a copy as required by law for security reasonsI liked the spacious studio apartment for my family. Lots of room/space to unwind after a busy day. The bed comforters were very warm- a plus for the chilly autumn nights. A quick 10 min walk to JR Nikko station, 13mins to Tobu Nikko. Welcia and 7-11 were very close by and was great option for food to bring back to our place to eat or cook. Only downside was that they didn't provide any laundry detergent and the dryer function on the washer/dryer machine didn't work. We ended up buying some detergent from Welcia and found a clothes rack in the closet to hang our clothes on to dry.

Comfortable, spacious apartment

Spacious apartment with a washer dryer combo. Multiple seating and bedding options. Full kitchen for making meals at "home." Great place for a family with younger kids to stay, especially since some of us weren't feeling well and didn't want to leave the apartment.

Just so you know it’s a 15 min walk south of the station and it’s in a residential area so very few amenities/restaurants around - there is a 7/11 nearby but we had to walk 15 min north to find a restaurant - everything books early so by 7 all booked or closed. We found a lovely izakaya which opened late which was very good

Really like this apt like hotel. We can relax and cook after day of sightseeing. The room is so spatious that we missed it so much after returning back to Tokyo. The big bath soak is so nice. I do recommend taking a taxi to and from the the train station if you have large suitcases with you. The taxi cost only about 1000jpy using the Go app.

Large and modern apartments which we were impressed with, we liked the movie projector and room setup. Well-stocked with even some laundry detergent which we found helpful. Nearby 7-11. Only thing to note to future travellers is that it’s about a 15 min walk from the station / main town area (we didn’t find this to be an issue however, and you can walk via some of the quieter back streets), but would recommend getting a taxi if you don’t have a car and are coming from the station with a lot of luggage.
