Although it's for my rest to stay here because of the long distance from Tohoku area to Aichi pre. where I live, after I talked with the owner and a reception woman and see around Nikko, I decided to stay one more night. This area is so wonderful and beautiful. You have to come and stay here to see the World heritage and very Japanese-like scenery. Because I couldn't go to the lake up north, I will come to Nikko again. ##### Chihiro Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chit Yau, Hong Kong 13 Jan 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The best hostel ever There are two rooms in total, one is mixed room and the other is female room. Since my friend and I were the only guests that day, the owner treated us very good and very willing to provide information about nikko to us! And the hostel is quite close to JR and tobu station. We visited there in winter, and it was snowing, but inside the hostel was very warm, heaters and warm water bags were provided. I must stay there next time when travel to nikko. ##### Chit Yau ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Nov 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 服務品質 服務親切 ##### Verified traveller ---
