The best partnof this hotel is the onsen, very easy to use the private facility. The hotel is located quite a distance from the train station so it could be difficult to access depending on weather. However it was close to Toshogu shrine and the Kanmangafuchi Abyss was right next door. Highly recommend if you like relaxing in onsen waters.

Great location, in a walking distance to the main sightseeing spots in Nikko (as well as a useful convenience store), yet tucked away in a quiet area. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Amazing location for a balance of being connected with nature in Nikko and close enough for transportation to the city by bus! Owners were attentive and very helpful in helping you arrange for transportation (taxi) in advance, giving tips of the local area, and were overall a joy!

川の音で癒される

通りから離れており騒音はありません。聞こえてくるのは川の音だけで、非常に癒されます。 1人30分という時間制限はありますが、浴場が貸切出来るのは良かったです。

A very friendly place. It was modestly priced in a place where that is notable. Breakfast cost extra, but was quite nice. And best of all, they had a hot spring hot tub.

Lovely little spot

A lovely little spot, next to the river. You can hear the river lightly in the background from my room, which made it lovely to fall asleep to. A very friendly, warm welcome. Clean, comfortable - the only thing to note is if you’re arriving in the evening like I was, and walking from bus stop, it can be a dark walk, especially if you’re alone. But waking up there is beautiful surrounded by forests. The onsen is lovely too, looking out over the river, and private!

Loved our stay!

There was a private onsen with a view of the stream. I’d love to return in autumn to see the leaves changing. The staff is very friendly. The bus stop was anbout 800 meters away, close to the Family Mart. Our family enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

At check-in, the host gave us a quick tour of the essentials of the property, and talked us through a map of the local area (in English). We were then shown to our room, and I amost cried, it was so beautiful - tatami floors, futons, beautiful outlook to the river with the trees showing their autumnal colours. A little way out of town, but definitely walkable, and such a peaceful, beautiful setting.

The woman who owns the property is very friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and speaks very good English. The room was clean and spacious, and the private bath area was excellent! You can open the window to listen to the river while you soak. 💕 The location was excellent with most of the things we wanted to see within a 20 min walk.

The owner is lovely and very helpful - although we are fans of Japanese food, we enjoyed the (Western) breakfast (which had to be ordered every day in advance) and the owner was helpful in giving advice and tips for Nikko's many attractions and for places to eat nearby. Some of the latter were a bit "hit and miss" - the Chinese restaurant wasn't very good and, despite being cheap, the food was stodgy and not very tasty. The Indian was better and (obviously) the local food options were the most recommendable. Use of the onsite onsen was well-regulated (with a sign saying "occupied" or "vacant" on the door) and, at the time of year we were there, we only had one other person/couple as "competition" for it! We especially enjoyed the warm/hot water after we were surprised by quite a heavy fall of snow in Nikko! All in all, a very interesting and enjoyable stay in Nikko - special thanks to the owner of this ryokan!

東照宮にも歩いて行けるので利用しやすかったです。お風呂は自分達だけで入れるし、温泉もきゅっきゅする泉質で気持ちよかったです。アメニティはフロント横にあるので、必要な物を自分で選びいただいていくという仕様でした。浴衣とタオルはお部屋にありました。お部屋も綺麗で全体的には満足です。ただ、ユニットバスの匂いが気になりました。唯一、改善をするならそこだと思いました。朝のお散歩のコースや夕食のお店を教えていただけたり、周辺の地図などももらえてとても親切にしていただきました。また機会があれば利用したいです。

I was in Japan for 2 weeks and this was possibly my favorite place I stayed at. The owners are so nice and welcoming. They speak great English, so that made my life easier! The nicest lady showed me around everything and took time to explain every appliance and amenity with demonstrations. They also held my bags for me after check-out so I could explore. The private onsen was fantastic - the afternoon light, and river view, is beautiful. My room (western) was very comfortable. Great walking distance to so many historic sites. I didn’t need a bus or taxi staying here and I am not a very active person. There is a 24 hour Lawsons nearby. Just remember: you are in the mountains, in a very humid environment. There may be the occasional bug or unexpected plant life, but everything was clean and well-cared for. Bed was very comfy and fresh. This isn’t a luxury resort; it’s like staying in a very nice family cottage. That, and the hosts, are why it’s special. I would come back to Niko just to stay here, even if I didn’t visit any tourist sites. Definitely try this place!

Good hotel - worth a stay.

Beautiful setting in wonderful part of Japan. Traditional Japanese hotel...bed/futon bed a little too hard for my western back. Spa was lovely, as was the owner... who couldn't be more friendly or helpful (typical of almost Japanese). Nikko seems quite 'dead' at night. Perhaps we were too late or missing something but struggled to get anything to eat in the evening.

Beautiful setting, walkable to bus stops to get to where you want in Nikko. There are at least 3 or 4 restaurants you can walk to. Otherwise you’ll have to catch the bus to town for more options. Rooms are very small but very clean. Not too many electrical plugs for charging devices and they are all located near the ground. Personable staff and can provide the services you need. Convenient coin operated laundry facility. Very nice onsen in which you can reserve your own private time

This inn is great for foreign tourists! The owner speaks English very well and signs are included in the room to explain how to use the A/C or heater unit. Private onsen to enjoy the river view, though almost all rooms face the river as well. Futon is more comfortable than a bed, with two types of pillows. Nearby park area for hiking with jizo statues and waterfalls. Can walk to Toshogu Shrine as well. If you're into a lighter breakfast of a hard boiled egg, delicious bread and a fruit plate, it's great! Highly recommend this place for a relaxing experience!

川のほとりの静かな宿

東照宮近くの賑やかな場所から少し離れており，静かな環境で宿泊できました。コンビニ，バス停などからは徒歩10～15分くらい離れていますが，車がなくてもひどく不便というわけではありません。宿では夕食を提供していないため，夕食は外食となりますが，徒歩圏内には夕方以降営業しているレストランが少ないので，この点は宿の方に訪ねた方が良いと思います。朝食は追加料金で宿で提供がありますが，私は国道まで上がっていったところに朝食を提供するレストランを見つけたのでそこに行きました。部屋に椅子とテーブルがあったので，前日にコンビニで朝食を買っておいて部屋で食べるという選択肢もあります。「ほとり庵」という名の通り，敷地の裏はすぐに大谷川で，浴槽からは川が見えて良かったです。また，憾満ヶ淵の入り口に立地しており，朝の憾満ヶ淵散歩はとても気持ちが良かったです。部屋に冷蔵庫がなく，1階の廊下に共用の冷蔵庫があってそれを利用する形式ですが，満室近くなると冷蔵庫が混み合ってくるので注意が必要でした。またお風呂が家族風呂で使用中は外に札を出して中からロックするような使用方法なので，こちらも混んでいる時には空きを定期的にチェックする必要がありました。宿泊は101号室で，風呂，冷蔵庫が至近だったのでとても便利でした。ご夫婦で営んでいるようですが，非常に感じの良い対応で，また来たいと思います。

We loved our stay here. Only a quadruple traditional was available for our time (2 of us) so the room was very spacious since they only lay out 2 futon instead of 4. First time sleeping on futon, which was comfortable for me but maybe some people may find hard. The place was very clean and quiet, at the edge of town next to stream. Unfortunately we couldn’t hear the stream very well over the sound of the heater. Down steep hill with no sidewalk from bus stop, we found it easier to walk up on less steep lower road back toward station to hit lower bus stop. Breakfast was very good! Wish we had more time there.
