It is a little worried that there is no convenience store in the neighborhood of the facility. However, there is no problem because some things can be purchased in the facility. Since a free shuttle bus is circling Utsunomiya station and TOBU Utsunomiya station, it was easy to use the movement in front of the station. If it is a deluxe type cabin, there is a small desk, so you can work on a PC without problems.
The room size is comparable to typical business hotels in Japan, which was quite comfortable. There's a public bath on the first floor. Although breakfast isn't included, you can add 700 yen for a buffet breakfast, which was delicious and a much better option than eating out. The owner was also very welcoming. Even though the front desk was unstaffed between 10 AM and check-in time, there are four paid lockers outside the hotel for luggage storage. What's particularly convenient is its proximity to the station, just about a 4-minute walk, and it's also not far from the only supermarket near the station.
I went by car, but the paid parking lot was full and it was difficult to find a parking space. The station is nearby, so it's more convenient to take the train. There is also a convenience store within walking distance, so it's convenient. The room was very ordinary, but I only stayed there for a night, so it was no problem at all.
It was helpful that we could use the bathhouse as well as the bathroom in the room. The place was very clean and nice overall.
I'd like to use it again😊
Convenient place just across Tobu Nikko station. For one night we had all we needed in our twin room, which was like a studio: private bathroom, kitchen corner with microwave, kettle, sink and fridge (no kitchen amenities), balcony with view. Heating and heated blanket did their job in the cold night. There’s a Supermarket and a Laundry service close by.
The hotel needs for sure some maintenance and insulation can be improved as it was very cold.
The only way to get to upper floors is by elevator, as I tried using the stairs but they were blocked by piles of sheets, which is not ideal as there should be emergency exits! Not really a budget accommodation compared to other places I stayed in Japan and for the standard offered.
The station is right in front of the hotel. The parking lot is next door.
The hotel is clean and seems to have a variety of room designs, so I would definitely like to stay here again.
I stayed here the night before playing golf, and I was surprised to find that there was a simulation golf shop on the second floor,
which was spacious and clean.
Guests received a discount of 2,100 yen for 50 minutes, which I was very happy with.
The hotel's website is run by a different company, so
there is no information about it, but I hope they provide proper guidance.
This would surely increase reservations!
The TV remote in the room was covered in dust.
There were dead bugs on the bathroom ceiling.
There was hair on the wall.
Maybe the cleaning wasn't very thorough?
I'll stay again.
Actually, the cp value is quite high.
You have to have a room for yourself, the price is not expensive.
It's just old.
The gates will close at 11 p.m.
Get in and out of the side door.
About 800 m from the station
Advantages:
Go ahead and have a fresh supermarket
2. The room is small and well equipped
3. There is an elevator, a public bath for men and women
Disadvantages:
The whole building is very old
This guesthouse is super close to JR Nikko Station, just a 5-minute walk away. The buses to Toshogu Shrine also stop right by JR Nikko Station, making it incredibly convenient. The owner's wife was very welcoming; she first asked about my travel plans and then meticulously explained how to get everywhere, handing me maps and bus timetables for the next day. I stayed in a Japanese-style room on the second floor with a toilet nearby, and the shower room on the first floor was very clean and comfortable. The next morning, the owner's wife prepared a delicious and complimentary breakfast, giving us a real taste of local life. She even gave us an origami crane as a blessing... Her thoughtfulness and genuine hospitality offered a warmth that's different from staying in a regular hotel.
I was able to go to my dream destination, Nikko Toshogu Shrine!
It was within walking distance!
It had a very log cabin-like atmosphere
and it really got me excited!
Please see the photos for more details!
I would definitely recommend it to those who plan to travel to Oze and Nikko National Park.
In particular, if you travel here by rental car, you can eat cheap shunbakbi, spacious room, large, delicious breakfast family meal for free here.

Jjlow123Most 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!
LLena DovganIt was the perfect place for me to reset and refresh. The hostel is surrounded by beautiful nature and has a hot spring, just what I needed in a getaway from the big city.
The common space is designed beautifully and has two very comfortable kitchens, big fridges, and everything you might need for a comfortable stay.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, one night the hostel even arranged a hot pot dinner. First I stayed in a standard room but I ended up extending my stay here, this time in the women's only dormitory. Both the private room and the dormitory room were very comfortable and had everything I needed.
Long walks was just what I needed but it looks like there's quite a lot to do around if you drive just a little bit, so I would recommend coming by car or renting one at the train station.
I can't wait for my next visit here.

NNieva MayThe place is a 25-30 minute walk from the Tobu Nikko station, but you can actually take bus going there. However we didn't know the buses only run until 3 in the afternoon so we had no choice but to walk an uphill road. However it was a very fun experience and the hike was worth it as soon as we were able to take a rest in this humble pension house. The owner was very accommodating, gave us strawberry ice cream and even offered us a ride to the station the next morning. I would say that this place gave us the best definition of ”omotenashi”. Someday when we go back in Nikko , we'll surely stay here once again.

GGuest UserThe 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!
Ttolyazek@mail.ruEverything 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!
