Hotels Near Kootokoniwatashi Shrine in Nikko

I chose this hotel while thinking about sightseeing to the famous Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Lake Chuzenji. There were drinks in the lobby and I was able to take them freely. In addition, there were many types of Viking-style meals (dinner and breakfast), the taste was good, and there were several corners that were handmade on the spot, so I was able to enjoy it. The men's open-air bath was large and there were several types. In the morning, I was able to relax in the silence and soak in hot water and was healed. The hotel was old, but the room was spacious with Japanese and Western rooms, bed rules, or because of the special room. The area of Kinugawa, where the hotel is located, felt a lonely atmosphere without energy, but I was able to enjoy the countryside.

Arrived at Hotel and parked the rental car in the car park for free. Staff were very efficient and check in was very quick. Japan is still very Covid conscious and masks are worn everywhere. We were advised that there were were facilities for making Tea/ coffee in the room and that we should take any provisions required (for free) from the table arranged in the lobby i.e. tea / coffee / toothbrushes..etc. Room was lovely and spacious with a comfortable bed and lovely en-suite- lovely deep bath (shower fixings would be low for taller individuals). They had an evening bar and Onsen (natural hot water spring separate for males and females). They had a restaurant that provided an extensive buffet menu for breakfast - very tasty, and they had a select menu for the evenings and what we tried was very tasty also. The staff in the Hotel and restaurant were most friendly and encouraged me when I attempted some Japanese words. A very lovely start to our holiday in Japan - Thank you for your hospitality, we would happily stay here again

For reference we stayed in the Standard Dormitory. There are 2 rooms, 8 beds in each that share 2 toilets, a single sink, a single shower and a small kitchen. The bathrooms, kitchen, and shower were always clean. However, the kitchen only has a microwave and some plates, bowels and a few cups. There is no stove top to cook anything and there is no oven to use. You’re limited to microwave meals or eating out. If you’re on a budget and only plan on staying a single night then this is a great place. Any more nights and I would recommend finding another place. The staff a friendly and speak great English.

Room is huge compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. Modern styling, particularly loved the layout of the room. Tv was a great size and quality but disappointedly didn’t have any smart tv apps you can log into. It does have movie and other satellite channels. Bed was huge and super comfortable, 2 pillows on each side and a good weight duvet. We stayed for 2 nights and loved our stay.

A perfect location for exploring Nikko and the surrounding area. Although from the outside it looks quite standard modern, internally it is just about perfect. Dinner, for which we dressed in local attire, was served in a private dining room. It consisted of over 15 small plates of food, all superbly presented and very tasty. Incredible they use a different plate design for each dish. The staff were very helpful. Well worth a visit.

I stayed in Nikko the day before and arrived at the Ritz at 12 o'clock the next day. I wanted to store my luggage first, but I was told that I could check in. I was very surprised. But after all, I checked in in advance, and the view of the room I got was average. I booked a Japanese restaurant for breakfast at 9 o'clock. There was only a Teppanyaki area, which was a bit cramped. Choose one each of Japanese and Western food. Compared with the breakfast of the previous day, I personally feel that the Ritz is inferior. We had Italian food at Lake house for dinner. The dining environment was very comfortable and the pizza was good. In addition, the afternoon tea experience was not bad.

Pension was cosy, clean and well equipped. Bath includes onsen. breakfast and dinner can be arranged with the host for a reasonable charge. It is quite a walk from the bus stop with rather uneven road if you have wheeled luggage. Owner was nice to give us a ride out (at her convenience) to the bus stop. View from room of Mt nantai is lovely and it is convenient to visit the waterfalls...especially yudaki which was the best in my opinion.

Really nice room with an epic view of the lake and enough space for everything. Meals are wonderful and abundant and a seasonal selection each day Perfect place to stay if you are planning to explore okunikko area or to cycle around the lake, there are also restaurants nearby for lunch. The public bath is very pleasant with an outdoor spring to soak in while enjoying an open sky. Found out there was a shuttle bus back to tobu-nikko station setting off at 11am from the hotel after speaking to a kind staff member, Diane. Do make reservations for the shuttle beforehand at the reception if you plan to take this as well. Rental bikes available at the Nikko natural history museum which is a 10min walk from the hotel

The room is clean and tidy, very quiet, the hot spring is also very clean, breakfast and dinner are also Japanese style, very good

I stayed at the annex's Aiyama no sho for a family and used it. Because the building is old, the interior and fixtures are suitable, but the room was large enough and the cleaning seemed to be well done. Because only the heating is powerful gas heater, the room temperature adjustment in the large room is a little tricky. The futon was an old-fashioned Senbei futon, but I could sleep without feeling cold even at night when the outside air was close to 0 degrees. As the hotel's name suggests, the hot spring is great, the smell of white turbid water and strong sulfur is impactful. The inner hot water in the annex is wet, and the main building with an open-air bath is hot. The next morning, the family said that the skin was wet with the mouth, and I was surprised that the middle-aged man was clearly wet. The customer service is also polite, and I think it is a very conscientious inn of reasonable price setting if I don't expect excessively from HP's clean photographs and decoration. Is it the best to spend with a friend who is good in the location and is not mindful? The bookcase in the lobby is biased in the good sense of the taste of the selector and is interesting, so please come.
