During the recent three-day autumn foliage season, rooms in Nikko were extremely difficult to book, especially balcony rooms with views of Nantaiyama and Chuzenji Lake. This time, I checked in at noon and requested an upgrade to a lake view room, and luckily, one became available on the 5th floor, the top floor. The balcony of the room offered a breathtaking lake view! Although the price was high, it was truly amazing!
Environment: Prime location near Chuzenji Lake, with its own dedicated station. The pier, lakeside, and Kegon Falls are all within walking distance.
Service: Top-notch. From check-in to introductions, turndown service, and breakfast the next day, the staff were impeccably at home! They now offer twice-daily shuttle service from Nikko Station. Truly fantastic!
Facilities: Complete with all amenities, including a private onsen (hot spring), and state-of-the-art bathing and skincare facilities.
Cleanliness: Spotless, and the public areas are impeccably beautiful.
Staying here is like living inside an oil painting, except for the price. But this is just one example! The purpose of making money is to achieve Ritz-Carlton freedom.

Great traditional-yet-luxurious ryokan near the UNESCO temples of Nikko. The room was amazing: it had a private hot tub, tatami mats, a massage chair, and even binoculars. Dinner was a delight, a classical tasting menu full of surprises. My only complaints are about the shuttle system. Hotel is extremely inflexible in how and when you can get a ride to and from the sites and train station: other than a couple of fixed time slots, they make you either walk or take a taxi. Expected a bit more in this regard. They also very much rushed me out the door in the morning which went counter to the relaxing experience I’d had. Other than this, easy to recommend.

Guest UserWe stayed three nights in a room that included a circulating hot spring tub and buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Staff in all areas were attentive, friendly and courteous. We chose to have buffet dinner instead of Kaiseki or course dinner as those usually include food we do not eat or prefer and don’t want to waste. The buffet had a large variety to select from which was appreciated.
Various public hot springs in multiple areas of hotel were also available. It was a little distant to major tourist attractions via somewhat inconvenient public transportation which wasted some time but overall was a great stay.

My first time visit to Japan and I was after an authentic Japanese accommodation. I booked a Japanese Style room with futon beds which were very comfortable. The room was beautiful and very clean. My booking also included breakfast and dinner which were always outstanding, beautifully prepared and unique food items. They utilized farm to table dining and the women explained each item served. They provided and encouraged one to wear Kimonos’s /tabi socks / slippers during one’s stay at, “ Nikko Iwaiyado Juyan “. Which further contributed to the authentic Japanese vibe. Indoor and outdoor hot tubs were amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. The hotel is nestled within mountains and the setting serene. Hotel is family owned and they take pride in caring for their guests.

We especially liked the warm welcome when we arrived. We were greeted, shown around, taken to our room, and everything was explained to us, which made check-in very easy and comfortable.
The public onsens aren't very big, but they never felt crowded while we were there. There are also some beautiful places to walk nearby.
Both dinner and breakfast were excellent.

I read the mixed reviews and was concerned about my choice, particularly those which highlighted some concerns on the service, etc. Generally, it's an acceptable hotel. We met friendly and very helpful foreign staff who were sincere. I think mainly because all the staff has to multi-task from the front desk to meals etc, they may not appear very attentive. But we had a good experience with the foreign staff so far, particularly Adihadara. I am not sure if I spelt his name correctly. I call him ”Adi” in short. He was eager to help my husband with our luggage and took note of our preference for a table at the window for our meals. The property does appear aged and some apparent wear and tear but their effort to maintain it at this level of general acceptable look and feel is commendable. At the end of our two nights stay, we did have an enjoyable time to chill and relax at the hotel.

Anonymous UserThis motel provides a fantastic, home-like, and comfortable experience with excellent in-room amenities like a washing machine, artificial hot spring bath, rice cooker, and induction cooker. The location is convenient with nearby 7-11 access, making it worth the stay. However, the check-in process is inefficient due to tablet-only registration for all guests, a challenging remote operator, and a lack of elevators.
This is a great, affordable choice for travellers looking for a ”home away from home” experience in Japan. If the management improves the digital check-in procedure and provides better on-site support, this would be a perfect stay.

Guest UserI went planning to stay for just one night.
I loved it last year when I went alone with my son, but this time, the three of us went together, and the 3-bedroom suite was fantastic.
We left our luggage before check-in, and even though we returned late in the evening, they had already put everything in the room for us, which was very convenient.
Disposable amenities were well-stocked on the first floor, and best of all, having a Korean staff member made me feel at ease! Thank you so much, I'll definitely come back.

Yong Chuang TngExcept 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.
