Koduchi no Yado Tsurukamedaikichi

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay! Beautiful traditional Ryokan with delicious food. We loved the private onsen in our room and private dining room."

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"From checkin to checkout, our experience at the hotel was great. The staff were great to deal with, very friendly. The hotel room was clean and spacious. We used the shuttle to and from the train station with no issues. The hotel is a bit away from the main area, however, it is walkable when it's light out. I would not recommend lugging your bags from the train station. Either use the shuttle or take a taxi."

"Authentic and peaceful. A bit basic"

Hatago Nagomi

"The food is very good and well presented. However in-room amenities are minimal, same for the onsen (men) - no cotton ear-buds - and the hand towels do not smell clean."

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to lake, waterfall, and national park. Relaxing and serene atmosphere."
