Nikko Park Lodge Mountain Side

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 😄

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!

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.

Very outgoing lodge! When you enter from the entrance, the romantically burning pechka and nostalgic cosy lounge wait for you! It absolutely charms you all! The main male staff (owner?) is calm but can speak English well because he's been living in the States. Other staffs are also able to speak English. So don't worry. The building itself is a bit old, however AC works and the public bathroom has hot water 24 hours. There are Kleenex boxes in each rooms. Very convenient! I stayed in a dormitory room and rockers are there. The sockets are laid at the floor under the beds. AC can work. The bed is quite comfortable with warm heaters. Of course, each bed have small lights and curtains. The refrigerator inside is so clean. No worry to put your foods. Outside there is the terrace and small garden. I saw Nepalese people were doing BBQ. I can write more. But the most attractive stuff here is the lounge with pechka. The big TV is set there, and sofas and tables are ready. The atmosphere is hilarious. It has very nice mood to associate with other tourists. A lot of nationalities. I used to get into Western guys. If you have a higher English skill, you'd sure extremely enjoy the rich conversation. Tourists there are having a fun to talk about trips of Japan. Unlike other shady Japanese hostels, the staffs here are globalized and never stop you guys enjoying there! So I highly recommend you folks trying this lodge!

- Comfortable & heated mattress for cold winter! - Rustic style of the building and the living room, the authentic looking bath. - The remote location in the middle of nature / mountain, beautiful under the snow. I saw some deer on my way back from the nearby Onsen! - Reactivity and empathy of the owner who offered to relocate me closer to the other Park Lodge next to the station due to the heavy snow.
