Hostels in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

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!! 😁

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

Except for the excellent location (nearest to Tobu-Nikko Station and the buses stops to various locations and places of interest, the hotel is badly in need of upgrades for it's rooms, facilities and amenities. The room I stayed in is big (compared to most hotel rooms in Japan) but the toilet seat cover keeps falling down while using it. Plenty of cobwebs at corners , especially along the corridor. The bathroom taps is like a 'makeshift' upgrade shared by basin and bathtub. See photo. Good thing is that I can see upgrading and renovation taking place but seems like it has been going on for a very long time already.

Very good hostel, better than in the pictures. We had a room for 4 people with private toilet, only the shower to share. The onsen is very clean and contains two pools inside and outside. Two washing machines and two dryers are available with additional payment. Kitchen is big and clean. The hotel is far from the main activity of Nikko (Nikkō Tōshō-gū and a hike with waterfalls). The train system even if you take Nikko pass in Tokyo is not perfect because it requires to take additional tickets for an express train, because it is not included in the pass.

There is a parking lot for free parking, and there is also a paid three-dimensional parking lot on the side (parking coupons can be given to the store counter to pass the card, free parking) Rigui Hot Spring, there is a towel, the hot spring pool is divided into indoor and outdoor, there is also a steam room, oven, well-equipped, the environment is very clean, the staff attitude is very good, recommended!

A very good hotel with complete facilities, convenient location, courteous and attentive staff, neat and clean rooms, and all daily necessities. I will book again next time.
