Highly recommend this hotel!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arlene 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our Japanese room was lovely, and the front desk staff was very helpful. The servers at the kaiseki dinner could have been more assistive in explaining the meal, and a history of yuba and tofu making would have been nice. The visual presentation of the meal was excellent, while the servers seemed more interested in the mechanics of serving and cleaning up. ##### Arlene Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Apr 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Would overall recommend a different place This hotel is very over priced. The great thing about this hotel is location, walking distance to main shrines. Otherwise it is outdated and smells like mold-throughout the entire hotel. The room is already over priced and then they want you to pay for private bath time. There is no shower in your room, so it’s public bath or pay extra. Also, there is an extra charge for extra towels. I do take into consideration this is supposed to be more simplistic and traditional however an update should be done for the price. They do have a nice restaurant with pretty view of the small garden. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### masako 6 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 食事はそれぞれがとても美味しくて大満足でした。 スタッフの対応もとても良かったです。 ##### masako Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### TOMOKO 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 大浴場が趣きがあって良かったが虫が飛んできて怖かった。 ##### TOMOKO Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ryan 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The highlight is definitely the breakfast, which was a truly great experience for those seeking an authentic Japanese ryokan. The view of the gardens there heightened the experience, and the public bath was modest but very nice and in a beautiful area. The building itself shows signs of age (especially the walls) and the amenities were certainly not modern, but that was all made up by the conscientious and helpful staff and the very friendly shuttle driver who went out of his way to help, including letting me stop at the other train station on the way to the ryokan to pick up tickets. The whole city is very quiet and shuts down early, but there are a few nice restaurants a short walk down the hill, and if you are heading to Nikko Toshogu itself, then it's easily walkable right from the hotel. Don't bother getting on the bus (as long as mobility isn't an issue). Entering the forest at Shinkyo is nice, and getting there just before 9:00 helps avoid the crowds. For smaller groups, I would recommend this place. ![Breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ff69487-f2da-4c6b-a2d0-c4868638fc35-1750416323029.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the gardens from the breakfast table](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1522d7c5-abd7-4d1e-bb83-a447865d5a8b-1750416390310.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ernest 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The meals were extraordinary!

We are sorry we don’t speak Japanese, and that made little things challenging a bit. We wish we knew that for a best experience we should have booked dinner at the hotel because we did not find a single suitable place to eat within walking distance of the hotel (October 18, 2024). So we did not have dinner that night. Breakfast, on the other hand was fantastic. We also loved the Onsen experience. Arigato Gozaimas! ##### Jaime Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service 2泊の朝夕の食事は全て違う内容で、皿など凝ったものが使われていて、目にも楽しく、美味しいお食事でした。品数も多く少食の私と母では食べきれず残してしまったのが心残りです。腰の悪い母のために毎回背当て用クッションを用意下さり感激しました。あいにくの雨続きで、お部屋や温泉の湿気た臭いが気になりました。朝食のあとで、美味しいハンドドリップのコーヒーを部屋に持ち帰れたらなと思いました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerry 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff are wonderful, the food is delicious and the rooms are comfortable, with excellent views of Nikko. Definitely take the shuttle from the subway if you can, I made the mistake of walking as it wasn’t that long, but the last stretch is a very steep hill ##### Kerry Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Akiko 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 80代の母と妹と3名で宿泊しました。 スタッフの方の対応は良かったです。 部屋が少しカビ臭い気がしましたが、清潔に掃除されており特に気にならなかったです。 夕食も品数が多く、見た目も綺麗で、どれも美味しく頂きました。 朝食も美味しかったです。 窓から見えるお庭の緑がとても美しかったです。 お風呂も開放的で、緑がキレイでゆっくり入れました。 日光にきたらまた泊まりたいです。 ##### Akiko Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### gerald 3 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities 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. ##### gerald Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Henrik 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Tl;dr: I would not recommend this place. The location is great and onsen and grounds are fine. But at $400/night for two people and half board it’s way overpriced. The wallpaper is peeling, the carpets are dirty, it smells a little funky and there is no shower in the room. The dinner / breakfast are fine and the staff friendly but I would expect more at this rate. ##### Henrik Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Su 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Everything is great. There is no bath in the room so you have to go to the onsen room to take shower. ##### Su Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Reena 16 Jun 2024 We were let down overall by our stay at this hotel. The room we stayed in was really dated and the overall smell of the hotel was not very pleasant. The room walls were dusty. For the condition of the hotel, I think we over paid. The positive about the hotel is its location near the shrines and bridge. The hotel did provide shuttle services from Nikko train station which was really nice. The staff did speak English. ##### Reena Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Man Yee Maggie 10 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 近東照宮 不過不失，唯一優點係方便步行去東照宮。 ##### Man Yee Maggie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### ?? 2 Jun 2024 Liked: Staff & service せんべい布団が 寝にくかったです！ ##### ??
