Highly recommend this hotel!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pratik 17 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was right outside the Nikko Park and major tourist attractions. The dinner in the hotel was quite good but a bit expensive. The onsen was incredible too. Highly recommend this place. ##### Pratik Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kamalini 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Would recommend a stay here. The room was comfortable with good views and a great ryokan experience. Staff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the kaiseki dinner here too. They also have indoor and outdoor onsen. ##### Kamalini Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 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 #### John 18 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Nice onsen. And half board meals were awesome ##### John Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Man Kit 10 Jan 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff are helpful and speak good English. Cleanliness of the onsen and guestroom could be further improved. ##### Man Kit ### 6/10 Okay #### Helene 16 Aug 2025 #### Not worth the money until they improve Good: Very close to the World Heritage sites, the famous bridge, a bus stop to the ropeway and waterfalls etc. Not good: the rooms (especially bathrooms) are tired. Some of the staff are terrific; the rest are untrained and/or not given the tools to do an excellent job. Case in point: we had no idea we had to serve ourselves rice (everything else was served to us), and then desert was delivered before our rice course. They also nickle & dime guests for use of a parasol, make you bring your own flimsy towel from your room to the bath, and use bad translations that are off-putting (“if you do X, you will be punished”). ##### Helene Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 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 #### John 27 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 7 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 #### Bobby 22 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A fantastic ryokan experience. We had a delux room with private bathroom. Slept on mats on the floor which was surprisingly comfortable. The onsen offered 2 small hot baths covered and open to outdoors. Breakfast was amazing, offering Japanese and American style cuisine. Had difficult time finding restaurants for dinner, not many choices and they fill up early. Walkable to most sights. ##### Bobby ### 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime 16 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thank you Nikko Hoshinoyado- we had a wonderful Japanese experience in Nikko and at the hotel. 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Belfast City by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Belfast-City.h41519.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge London Hounslow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Travelodge-London-Greenwich-High-RD.h14721772.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenpyo Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Tenpyo-Ryokan.h14844103.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinugawa Onsen Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Kinugawa-Onsen-Hotel.h6132434.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Sal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sal-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d3164-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Protaras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Protaras-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6048805-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6054175-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express East Midlands Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Derby-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-East-Midlands-Airport.h548501.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fuengirola](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuengirola-Hotels.d5775.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Wrexham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wrexham-Hotels.d5625.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/bhx/belfast-to-birmingham) ### Cars ### Packages > [Waterworld](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waterworld-Stoke-on-Trent.d553248621561942097.Attraction) ### General
