Nikko Station Hotel Classic

Nikko Station Hotel Classic ★★★

📍 3-1 Aioicho, Nikko

"Perfect location right opposite the station (the larger station depending on what line you need is only a couple of minutes up the road, opposite the bus terminal). Breakfast was a nice mix of eastern and western style, the staff were attentive and efficient. The reception staff were highly professional and friendly and the luggage store was easy to operate, we left our luggage there for around four hours after checking in, there doesn’t seem to be a time limit. The room was surprisingly large and quiet even though it faced the front (nice view of station and hills beyond). We’d definitely stay again."

"This trip took me to Ashikaga City and Nikko City. It was my first visit to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and I thoroughly enjoyed the precious historical buildings. My accommodation was close to the shrine, so I was able to sightsee on foot. I received kind service and was able to relax. As for the food, the seasoning was mild, and I was able to enjoy a wide variety of dishes."

Shelter Garden Nikko Hotels in Nikko

Shelter Garden Nikko

"This was my first time staying at a hotel with such attentive service. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a dedicated staff member, perfect for relaxing and absorbing the atmosphere. The hotel boasted magnificent mountain views and a distant view of cascading water, instantly lifting my spirits. The hotel's dinner and breakfast were exquisitely prepared; the tableware and presentation were more beautiful than any painting. Dinner even included a song request, creating a superb atmosphere. The room design was stunning, situated on a high floor with floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking panoramic views. Perhaps because it was the off-season, I felt it was an absolute steal. The designer enthusiastically introduced his ultimate design during dinner, highlighting the high ceilings and the exceptional comfort of the bedding."

"The service was satisfactory. Due to the high humidity in the mountain air, the room was a little damp, but overall I was satisfied."

Asaya Hotels in Nikko

Asaya

"This was my first time staying at Asaya Hotel, and I booked a valley-side room in the Shuho-kan wing. While the hotel itself felt a bit dated and the room had a slight musty smell, it was impeccably clean, which made for a comfortable stay. There was just one major drawback. The 'valley-side' of the Shuho-kan wing, unbeknownst to me, faces the direction where several well-known abandoned hotels in Kinugawa Onsen are located. When I looked out from the balcony, I was met with the sight of a truly eerie abandoned hotel. To be frank, the view was far from pleasant and quite unsettling. It was genuinely frightening. Even from the onsen windows, those abandoned hotels were clearly visible, making the nights feel particularly eerie and scary. Aside from that, everything else was great; the buffet was thoroughly satisfying, and the service was excellent."

Kinugawa Royal Hotel Hotels in Nikko

Kinugawa Royal Hotel

"You can stay here for less than a business hotel, with an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink dinner, breakfast, and hot springs. If you get up early and cross the suspension bridge, you can see a spectacular view."

Kinugawa Park Hotels Hotels in Nikko

Kinugawa Park Hotels

"The exterior of the hotel is pretty, but the interior of the hotel is dated and needs a bit of updating. There were parts of the hotel that were completely shut down (maybe there are saving up enough money to one day renovate). However the facilities and rooms are well maintained and the onsens are beautiful and peaceful. There are 2 main onsens, that are separated by men and women. Each day the onsens are switched, in the morning you will go to one, and in the evening before dinner you can experience the other onsen. Onsite there is a really nice restaurant and gift shop that featured local products at reasonable prices. There is a 24 hour coffee/tea station that is free to use. It's a short 10 minute walk from Kinugawa Onsen Station. When you arrive they provide you a yukata to wear while you are staying at the hotel. The rooms are spacious with options for a western bed or japanese style (sleeping on the floor). We opted for the western bed to be higher off the ground as we thought it would be colder to sleep on the ground. Although the rooms are very well heated and was a bit too warm, that we needed to open the window to cool the room down. The rooms have nice views of the countryside. They provide a pitcher of ice water in the room and you can go to the front desk to refill with ice if more is needed. The bathroom is quite large and has both a shower and toilet in a separate room of the bathroom; although we mostly bathed in the onsen. There is a 7-eleven nearby that was open 24 hours, but otherwise there isn't much else around the hotel. Also the town of Kinugawa Onsen closes quite early, around 8pm it's quite deserted. We were there at the end of November 2024, and it seemed that the hotel was mostly unoccupied, so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. It was a very nice one night stay."

ISSINKAN Hotels in Nikko

"Extremely bad, very old, smelled musty and unhygienic, there were even bugs on the blankets in the room, I was so angry that I wanted to leave right away at dawn!!! The worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I don't know how they got the rating, even hotels in China costing around 100 yuan are better than this, the price is ridiculously high! Don't go there."

Kinugawa Onsen Sanraku Hotels in Nikko

Kinugawa Onsen Sanraku

"The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the view was great. The free cocktail and coffee services in the lobby were nice, as well as the free drink bar (including one beer per person) near the entrance to the hot spring. The paid massage service was also good. The meals were decent, especially the grilled beef, which simply melted in my mouth. The restaurant staff welcomed us warmly and provided friendly service. Cons: The variety of hot springs was lacking, and the view from the hot springs was almost blocked, which was disappointing. The lockers for valuables used combination dials, and foreign guests often didn’t know how to use them, locking their room keys inside and struggling to reopen them. This was a major inconvenience. They should switch to a key-and-wristband system like other onsen hotels. The room itself felt like an old, once-grand mansion that had seen better days. The furniture had many scratches, and the surfaces were worn and peeling. It made me think it must have been impressive in the past. Still, the room was definitely more spacious compared to other hotels."

Nikko Akarinoyado Villa Revage Hotels in Nikko

Nikko Akarinoyado Villa Revage

"I want to thank hosts of Akari no yado personally. The hosts were nice and worked really hard to feel ourselves at home. The place was clean and the common room was big and comfortable. Bathroom was old fashioned but if you want modern bathrooms you were able to use the bath house for showers and toilets in the common area. Breakfast is made of pastries and all I had was pretty delicious. You can also have marmalade and margarine with breakfast pastries and there are drinks (tea/coffee/milk/juice) to choose from. We checked out early and hosts prepared our breakfast to go even if it wasn’t breakfast time yet. They even drove us to the station when we asked if they would be able to call us a taxi! Bath house was spacious with two different baths. System is easy and we were able to use it whenever we wanted (between 16.00-23.00 of course). They are giving free rental yukatas and they were so comfy. They also have guides everywhere to help you (our room even had a guide on how to prepare a futon bed!) the place felt like we were part of a  family and that was the most amazing part for me. I even got teary eyed when it was time to go. Thank you Akari no yado! Hope to see you soon again!"

"Nice place. The shower and toilet are on the different end of the room. The kitchenette is well equipped. Room can get cold as only one heater. Quite a distance to walk to the main town centre. Nearby there is a 7-eleven."

Hotel Manyotei Hotels in Nikko

Hotel Manyotei

"My own sandals were stolen from the public bath and never returned. I really liked them, so it's extremely disappointing. They looked completely different from the hotel's, and I can't understand why someone would just take someone else's sandals, especially in Japan. The hotel hasn't taken any action whatsoever."

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Kinugawa Kanko Hotel Hotels in Nikko

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Kinugawa Kanko Hotel

"The food is delicious, but there are time limits, making it a hectic experience. Because it's a buffet, getting food takes longer than expected. The large public baths switch between men and women in the evening and morning, but there are differences in facilities, so if you only use it at night, you might end up with a less-than-ideal bath. It's a shame that the free alcohol in the lounge is only available in paper cups. Considering the price, it might be reasonable."

Nikko Station Hotel Building2 ★★★
"Good location with a room that’s slightly more spacious than a typical business hotel. The area feels safe for walking around at night. A nice bonus is the discounted onsen access at their sister hotel for just ¥600. Simply show your room key card to enjoy it! They also provide a light Japanese breakfast buffet from 7am to 9am. I was pleasantly surprised to find pork curry rice! Bread, milk and cereals. **One small downside:** There’s no full-length mirror in the room, although there is one in the elevator. Overall, a comfortable stay with convenient access to nearby attractions and a quiet, restful night. I also like that you can choose between daily room cleaning or simply having your towels replaced every day."

Nikko Station Hotel Classic ★★★
"This is amazing! The location next to the train station makes it easy to get to all the attractions. The man working at the reception desk deserves a bonus! He explained everything so well and was very informative. The breakfast is delicious, especially the toast with whipped cream. The rooms are large and spacious, and the bed is comfortable. There's also bottled water in the room. The amenities are excellent too; they provide toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel everywhere. I'd happily return!"

"I stayed here for two nights with my wife frim Australia. A beautiful ryokan next to the nikko shrine and river. We enjoyed the stay. Only downside, maybe not to others, was the serving staff was not japanese which can be a benefit in English communication but I was expecting authentic Japanese hospitality more."

Itoen Hotel New Sakura ★★★
"This property is very affordable and offers a lot for the price it demands. A 5mins walk to the Kinugawa Onsen station. The property is older but has all the amenities you need. There is an indoor onsen and a small outdoor one. Male and female sides don't change. You can also book a free session of private onsen. Breakfast and dinner are both buffets, nothing of high quality but there are a lot of selections to choose from. Best of all, the drinks, beers and spirits are complimentary too."

Kinugawa Onsen Hotel ★★★★
"The onsen is very nice and relaxing and the food was superb. However, the rooms we stayed at had a stinky fish smell that is hard to stand. This may be due to the age of the hotel since it had quite a history."
