Hotels Near 小佐越のかかし in Nikko

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.

The hotel is more like a museum :). You can admire every room and every thing :) You will see a table lamp at the reception, which has been standing there since 1907, in the lobby you will see photographs of people who stayed at this hotel - Indira Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert Koch, Edward Prince of Wales and many other. The restaurant has very beautiful dishes. And the table for dinner was set using 11 cutlery :) The staff is very attentive and polite. I would especially like to thank Sabita for her help. The room itself is fairly basic (but not modern) the beds are very comfortable and the bathroom has everything you need for a short stay. Rooms are not cleaned daily and towels are not changed unless specifically requested. The location of the hotel is very convenient, a three-minute walk from Nikko Park - UNESCO heritage. Currently, one wing of the hotel is being renovated.

The hotel is great, unexpectedly big~ The hot spring area is bigger than it looks in the photos, and very comfortable. You can see the stars in the sky when you soak in the outdoor hot spring at night. After soaking in the hot spring, there is a rest area with free drinks and you can sit there. Looking at the lake in a daze. The breakfast and dinner were very rich and delicious. On the day I went, the surrounding area was closed on a regular holiday, so it is highly recommended to stay and eat at once! There is also a board game area and youth hostel beds. It’s a great hotel!

Corona, I really went out 々, so I booked a room with an open-air bath even if it was a little expensive. Open-air bath → Everyone said that this hot spring was good, so I naturally thought it was a hot spring in the open-air bath in the room, but it was ordinary tap water. Sorry ... Of course, the bathtub was full of insects because it was a place without screen doors. It is listed under the name Bed →, but there is only a rice cracker futon drawn where the corner of the room is a little higher. It was too hard to sleep well because my body hurt. Bedding? sheets? I'm sorry for the dry smell of the laundry. I think it can't be helped because of the corona, but even if I stayed for consecutive nights, I had to change the towels, so I didn't remake the bed. The room was very cold. Cooking → I was expecting seasonal and local food, but only crabs and shrimp. I imagine that the crab was frozen, so I gave up without eating half without relaxing. Since there is no confirmation of allergies, I think it is better to confirm the dishes for crustacean allergies ... The fuel for cooking on the food table was small, and shabu-shabu and pork came out, but the fire went out on the way and I gave up. Isn't it good that it's a size that can be cooked for about 5 minutes? Breakfast is Japanese style. I think it's difficult to have a buffet because it's a corona disaster, but I think it would be nice if you could choose Japanese or Western breakfast at least. And I thought that the male staff at the front desk was not like the front desk. Can't find our name from the reservation list and are you really booking at home? I was asked. The woman was polite. That said, I think it is unavoidable that the service is limited because it is a corona disaster, but I thought that the price and the service content did not match.

My wife and I booked the Nikko Station Hotel II for April 13 - 15 as a non refundable reservation. This week, the US State Dept issued a Level 4 warning for all US citizens to avoid international travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In spite of their normal policy, the Nikko Station Hotel II made an exception due to the COVID-19 pandemic and issued a full refund. We will reschedule our trip to Japan after the pandemic passes and WILL DEFINITELY rebook at the Nikko Station Hotel II, as they have shown excellent customer service in a difficult time!

Convenient location, such as convenience store in front of you, ramen shop next to you, just a short walk from TOBU Nikko station. The personal space of the capsule is not large, but there is a card key in the entrance room, and a locker with a key in the personal space, and the security is also considered. It is still new and beautiful including toilets and baths. The receptionist also responded politely, and the Nikko sightseeing after the next day was substantial because of the correspondence to the information provision and the question immediately.

This is my third trip/adventure to Japan. I would say as a solo traveler this has to be one of the very best places I have ever stayed in when travelling around Japan. I came to Nikko np to explore the vast array of hiking trails, all of which I did, had breathtaking views and a poetic, truly majestic Japanese feel to them. I rented a car from Nasushiobara (Shinkansen) and drove across to Kinugawa. On arrival I was greeted by a host of the hotel staff, welcoming me and helping me with parking and my bags. I checked in with ease and with some broken English and Japanese on my part was led to a beautiful traditional Japanese style room overlooking the river. The service throughout was world class and made me feel both very comfortable, at home, but also special. I stayed 3 nights with half board (breakfast and dinner), both truly amazing and served with grace and politeness. On the first evening’s dinner one of the serving staff took the time to speak with me and allowed me to share some of my recent experiences/photos etc whilst preparing dinner - this was most welcome, especially as I had been travelling alone for over a week. The location of the onsen hotel is about 60 mins drive to some of the most sought after walks in the np. Very easy to access by car and excellent roads. The accommodation itself is a mix between very traditional Japanese resort and original/boutique Ryokan. The private and public onsen’s are fantastic and a well deserved rest-bite after a long days hiking! Having been to some of the most popular ryokan’s in Japan; Iwaso, Claska etc, this came as a very nice surprise and at an affordable rate without any compromise. If in the area, I would highly recommend staying…

I made the trek here from Tokyo on a Saturday for the Yunishikawa-onsen KAMAKURA Snow House Festival which is only held from Late January to Late Feb on Fri/Sat and Sundays. Tips for making the trek - pre book the Fast Tobu train! I neglected to do this and with the help of a lovely man at the train station I ended up taking 5 x local trains and an hour bus making the trip 5.5 hours long instead of 3. Now to the hotel. It’s in a great location, right next to the festival hub but a short walk to the main centre of town ( which is very tiny). I didn’t pre book dinner or breakfast but took some snacks with me, however on arrival they advised they offer guests free ramen from 9-10.30pm which was delicious! The onsen was a new experience for me and one that I enjoyed. They offer very very comfortable pyjamas for your use while there as well. I asked on check out if they sell these pyjamas but they don’t :( I would have bought them if they did as they were perfect! The rooms are a little dated but comfortable and clean. The lounge area is lovely, wooden fire, free coffee, tea and juices and a wine dispenser with a good range of wines which you can easily charge back to your room. It was so relaxing just sitting by the fire and enjoying the views. One night was plenty for me but if you are a hiker then maybe a longer stay would be preferred. Making the trek back was easy. The bus that leaves from outside the hotel is timed to arrive at the Yunishigawa Onsen station with 10 minutes spare before the train arrives. Then a quick 2.5hours on the direct train back to Tokyo. If you are looking for a little escape from the noise of Tokyo then this is a lovely location in winter epically when the festival is on.

I came here to escape the heat during the intense heat. A hot spring hotel located in the middle of nature. It is operated using the former building. It's quite a distance from Nikko to Oku-Nikko, but it's worth it because there are wonderful hot springs with cloudy sulfur springs. It's true that the flow line to the hot springs passes in front of the front desk, so I'm a little confused, but it's mutual. The restaurant is also buffet style. It felt like the table was close to the table next door. However, there seemed to be some rooms that were partitioned off for large groups or families with children, so it was untidy and unsettling. I felt that there was no such thing. There was a wide variety of items and drinks, and I felt that they were very creative. Breakfast was also sufficient. Lake Yunoko is right in front of you, so it's great for hiking. Nature is abundant and the air is delicious and cool. You will definitely want to visit again and again.

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!! 😁
