Find 2-Star Hotels in Nikko

What a great stay we had at Nikko Stay House Arai. The lovely owner was so very helpful, explaining all there’s to do and how to move around Nikko. She also offered a free breakfast (she can accommodate vegetarian), which was generous and delicious. Tons of fruits, an egg, a chicken skewer, toast and coffee or tea. Not that this is a home with multiple rooms and shared bathroom (2) and one shower. Only 3-4 rooms (depending on configuration) so wasn’t an issue to use. This was a great stay in Nikko, walking distance to the train station and the sights.

Excellent price-performance ratio hotel with the best logistics you can have in Kinugawa. The facilities with garden are fresh, service is top grade. As for onsen, it is separated, but it has only one bath, which is expected from tiny hotels. The only little nuisance you can encounter is the late night noise coming from opening doors. Overall the experience was outstanding, I will choose this place again.

The guesthouse is quite a way from Nikko town (10-15 mins by bus / 1 hour walk) but is in a good location for getting to the shrines or to Lake Ashi - there's a bus stop close by. The guesthouse was homely and had 2 private onsen. Our room was comfortable enough although the en-suite was very tiny! The host was welcoming but didn't speak any English which meant we had to communicate by translating on our phones. We booked to have breakfast at the guesthouse, but didn't realise that for booking the dinner we needed to give 24 hours+ notice so missed out!

There are too few reviews of small Japanese homestays. Every time an order is placed, it is like opening a blind box. After opening this one, it is informational and highly recommended. The sanitary conditions and hot spring facilities meet expectations. The biggest surprise is the location. It is actually located at the door of the niche and unique regretful Yuan. Put down your luggage. One person went to the empty attraction and walked around quickly. The sound of running water was in his ears. In front of him was a row of different-looking sitting on the ground. Bodhisattva, Quite mysterious experience. Going to the station, a bit inconvenient, take a taxi back and forth, the price is acceptable, about 1,500 yen a way.

We were hosted by an elderly couple, and his family members. They were super cute, friendly and polite. It's like their small family business, ground floor was a western restaurant, second floor onwards were all the guest rooms. They know a bit of English, so the communication wise no issue at all. What we love about this stay is that other than the room with gorgeous lake view, the host was super helpful to allow us to store our luggage with them even way before our check-in timing. Furthermore he even offer to send us to the laundry shop, when we just casually ask him about the laundry. What actually surprised me the most, was that he even FETCH us from the laundry shop after we were done. Will definitely come back to this place again if I'm in Nikko! Thumbs up! Super host!! 😁

First of all, the Tangyuan Hot Spring Area is a very recommended hot spring resort. Friends who want to go to the sun must be considered. As for the Tangyuan Xiaobin City Hotel (the actual local signboard of the hotel is written “坂屋”), it is chosen as the first choice for hot springs. As long as it is geographically located and also has breakfast and dinner, there is a comprehensive selection of room sizes. 4.0 rating, but I personally gave a rating of 4.8 or more. First of all, the service staff has a very good attitude and can express in English. If there is translation software on the mobile phone, it will be easier to communicate. Then, basically, when you register for accommodation, tell you, and ask you to prepare some meals, breakfast 7 : 30 and 8:30 two sections, dinner is also 6:00 and 7:00, and then tell you, their hotel hot spring is twenty-four hours, there are room equipment, so these are the introduction, no Chinese Everyone can understand. The Japanese-style hot spring hotel, as long as the room has its own bathroom and washstand, the bath is not so necessary, because before you go into the hot spring bath, you need to wash your body, all the configuration, In addition to facial cleanser. Its hot spring male soup soup, both have indoor and outdoor two pools, if it is winter, it is the feeling of bathing in the snow, so it is recommended As for the meal, it is the traditional Japanese style, it is absolutely full, and the taste is very authentic, just fine, but please note that the most important factor in the price of the reservation option is that the same room type is more expensive. The price of the meal, the taste of the meal is completely different in two grades, please friends who love to bathe, must be carefully compared, if the family is more than two people travel, it is recommended to choose a room, because, the general Japanese standard room The single beds are very small, one person sleeps very small, and don't even want to sleep with the children in the cot. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a room with a child, and if the child is not under five years old, If you dine together, it will still be enough. If you come here for a bath, you will still choose this hotel.

Most of the reviews are outdated so I thought I'd give an updated review. For one thing, there is WiFi (I have informed the landlady that the website indicates otherwise). This place is a traditional-style inn. You'll be sleeping in a futon (some Google-fu should help you know how to use one), use two pairs of slippers (one for moving around the house, one exclusively for the toilet) and will also bathe in a Japanese-style shared bathroom. The front gate and bathroom close at 10pm, which is not an issue as everywhere in Nikko closes early and it's too dark to hike outdoors (in early Autumn). We loved using the onsen to relax after a day of strolling around and hiking, and the delicious Japanese-style breakfast was lovingly prepared by a friendly old granny. The premises are old but well-maintained. Toilets, bathroom and onsen were great but we were there during off-peak season so we didn't need to share so much. Should we return to Nikko, this place will be our first choice!

What an amazing place to stay - Kas and his wife made us extremely welcome and provided excellent restaurant recommendations as well as places to visit. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the breakfast was excellent (with juice, yogurt, ham and omelette and fruit, plus toast and tea/coffee). The bedrooms are large and the bed are comfy. The shower was also super clean. It is uphill from Nikko Tobu station but you can easily get a taxi from the station for 1,000/1,100 (£5/6) which saves carrying the luggage. Short walk to Kirifuri waterfall which is beautiful and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see the monkeys along the way. I couldn’t recommend more highly and look forward to coming back in the future!

Everything was great! We lived here for three days in April 2024. The hosts are very friendly and attentive. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty and large, so during the day we didn’t even want to have lunch while walking. Everything in the room is clean and tidy. The place is quiet and beautiful. Nearby there is a large supermarket with everything you need. The bus stop to the waterfalls and lake is also very close. There is also a public onsen nearby, we had a good time there too. In general, we really liked everything! Thank you!

Very good hotel, except that the road is a bit difficult to find, the room is super big, the toilet is also very big, the bed is also a hard bed, very good, the grandfather who provides the service is very kind, like one
