Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

Hotel Sunshine Kinugawa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful traditional hotel, the property is a little dated but overall still beautiful and clean, would stay again!"

Nikko Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a classic hotel but the annex building is fully renovated and beautiful. The room was comfortable with nice amenities. It was so calm and peaceful. I loved the tea set they provided and enjoyed the room overlooking the garden outside. Had very comfortable beds. Staff was nice and welcoming. Breakfast was nice too. The only downside was lack of dinner options in the area. We did a room service one night and had their famous curry… which was alright but expensive. We also had a meal at Meiji no Yakata nearby which was great. I think most restaurants were closed for dinner on weekdays though. There was a really good yuba place for lunch closed to the hotel."
