The property is conveniently located near Railway station as well as all shrines. We had a fabulous time at the property immersing in Japanese culture. All staff members did excellent job of providing great service. Receptionist staff (Mr Supun) was excellent with our checkin/checkout process as well as scheduling shuttle buses. Restaurant staff (Ms. Shiny, Ms. Nisa and Mr Okazawa) were very excellent in serving us breakfast and dinner. It has been truely an amazing experience.

Beautiful location

Beautiful location, and great to see all the sights of Nikko. We struggled with the food from a western perspective, very traditional Japanese. But it was all cooked and presented beautifully and there was lots of it! We had the private onsen which was also lovely.

I was travelling solo around Japan and on quite a tight budget so this was one of my pricier stays ... it was well worth it though! Lovely to have the Japanese style room for the experience - and the onsen was perfect having inside and outside options. The location was perfect - immediately adjacent to the key attractions of the area ... the only slight issue was lugging my bags up the hill as I missed the shuttle bus and made my own way there. The staff were very responsive thought coming out to help when they were aware - also with umbrella when raining. Food was an amazing experience - being of somewhat unadventurous vegetarian, I opted for the western breakfast which was lovely. However looking at the tables laid out for those who had a more traditional breakfast I can see that it was first class! I fully recommend this property for those visiting Nikko and all its historic sites - you won't be disappointed!

Staff and facilities were excellent. The food we were served was very delicious and fun and providing a copy of the menu for us to photograph allows us to go back and translate to understand some of the food we did not recognize. The rooms could probably use a little updating but this did not disrupt our enjoyment of the short stay.

This place is the best

This Ryokan is wonderful, amazing, delightful. Japanese style rooms, architecture is showing it's age a little but retains all of its charm and character. 1/2 board (breakfast and dinner) is the way to go. The meals were amazing, so well structured, theme was apparent, the food itself was an adventure. Onsen was really pleasant after walking through the world heritage parks.

Good typical Japanese experience with futon on the floor and a shared onsen for bath and shower. Location is good but be warned the town doesn’t seem to get a lot of overnight visitors so there is slim pickings for dinner. The breakfast was very traditional Japanese. Lots of things you’ve not tried before and some a little peculiar.

Our two day visit enhanced our cultural understanding of Japan from authentic cuisine to traditional ryokan. The English speaking manager suggested several activities beginning at Tobu bus stop 7 (walkable one block from hotel) to stop 26 Kogan Falls. The serenity of the landscape surrounding the hotel relaxes the stress of Tokyo. My only regret is not finding the private shower!
