The staff were friendly, and could speak quite good English and understand English even better. Very helpful. French Toast was lovely and is the best breakfast here. Heated Toilet seat, free use of shampoo and body wash. Replaced used towels with clean towels each day in your room and bedding made up and bin bag changed each day, without needing to ask them or put signs up on the doors. Very good first accommodation in Japan experience. Perfect location within 6mins walking time or one minute driving time to "The Stables" where you can do standing archery in traditional attire and horseback archery. 5-8min drive into the centre of Nikko, where it is easy to park with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. Very clean Town, very beautiful views and bridges and buildings. Thank you!!

Nice guesthouse with a rather informal atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The area is nice and green, the hosts are super friendly and helpful (e.g. arranging shuttles to and from the Nikko station). Dinner and breakfast is available on site (if you order in advance), which was great too.

The vegan dinner, in particular, was delicious and our hosts went out of their way to provide me with Almond milk for breakfast. An act that was much appreciated. The bedroom was comfortable with stunning mountain views. I embraced the unique style and decor of the communal area which was an added bonus: it was great to sit on the sofa and chat to fellow travellers. Our hosts, Suzuki-san and Ken-san, could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. Their warmth, as well as the personal touches, made for a superior stay in Nikko.

Kindest people !! The owners are lovely, definitely made our stay memorable. We asked for few different favors and they were happy to help. The owner also gave us a few lifts to Nikko station and to Kirifuri waterfalls which was very convenient for us. The hostel itself is old but nice and cozy. There is no option to cook but a buffet in a reasonable price is offered and great food. Also you can buy some snacks and beers and wine if you like. Location is about 15-20 minutes from Nikko station, depending on your pace. A bit uphill to the hostel from the station but nothing serious. The price is very much affordable and I found the value for money very good. Highly recommended!! Enjoy 😄

The host (Suzuki) and staff members went out of their way to mail back my personal items which I had mistakenly left in the lodge. Am really grateful for that. 🙏🏻 Apart from the location, the lodge is perfect. Lodge was clean, tidy and cozy. The amenities were sufficient for a few days of stay. Nothing to complain about.

I recently spent a weekend with my family in their family room. The place is quaint and quiet, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff were super friendly and accommodating—they even drove us down the mountain when we missed the morning shuttle, which was extremely kind of them. The dinner was also very good and there’s a large bath on the first floor. If you’re looking for a chill spot with great service and English-speaking staff, I definitely recommend this lodge!

The hosts were very kind, very nice to have smiling people to talk with. The atmosphere, the warmth of the hostel alone has already convinced me. I also liked the breakfast the morning (delicious French toast) and the dinners also with a fire which creates a particular ambiance, it's a real chalet in the woods, I love it.

The hosts were amazing, warm, and friendly. The meals they made felt like a proper family dinner, even though we were sat at our own tables. Location was perfect for us, a 20 minute walk from the train station on the edge of the forest. The drinks and snacks that were available to buy in the living room was also great since the local convenience store was a bit further away.

This cozy lodge out in the mountains was everything I had hope for. Ken & Sei were extremely welcoming & treated me like a family member the moment I arrived. The huge lounge area was the perfect place to meet other travelers & share ur stories..I loved how accessible it was to the UNESCO park, The fishing pond, and Kirifuri Falls. Will definitely be back again.

The hotel is set along the forest in Nikko, which was so beautiful and quiet. The onsen was great!! And we appreciated the timed morning and afternoon free shuttle between the mountainside location and the train station location. The breakfast and dinner was delicious! We stayed four nights in Nikko and could have stayed longer. What a marvelous world heritage site. Don't miss Taiyuin!!
