Everything about my stay was so wonderful. Hiro and his adorable assistant, Marie, are attentive, kind, and welcoming. I got to hear different stories of Hiro's life as well as recommendations that I never would have known about otherwise. His care for the guests is so apparent, including turning the heater on every morning in the kitchen, being so responsive and flexible, and consideration for any needs. The house itself is beautiful with tatami mats in the bedroom, a zen garden, a mini onsen, and surrounded by ancient trees and nature. The kitchen has a fridge, microwave, kettle, and dishware, and Hiro-san provides towels and slippers. He also prepares the mini onsen for guests every night as well as shuttle service to Tobu and JR stations whenever you would like to leave or come back to the house.

My friend and I had the most amazing time at Stay house Arai. Our room was very clean, comfortable and cozy. Mariko was an incredibly nice host, gave us a lot of information on how to get around Nikko and great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. She also surprised us with an amazing breakfast and some super cute little charms and origami as gifts. The only downside: we ended up regretting only staying for two nights! Would definitely book again.

it was super close to everything. it was clean, super cozy, and had a very pretty Japanese style. The hosts where some of the nicest people we have ever met met. They made staying at the stay house an experience in itself. we would definitely stay there again if we ever go back to Nikko.

The hosts are both amazing!! Very friendly and eager to help us with everything we needed. We had not chosen to have diner there (bad decision because I believe it must have been amazing) and they suggested to make a reservation for us at an excellent restaurant nearby. The breakfast was served in a very cosy and homey feeling living room and it was a classical western style with eggs, bagels etc which was exceptional! I have nothing but wonderful words to say about this experience. Totally recommended! I would like to revisit and spend more time there. Thank you for everything

A wonderfull place with so many beautiful, carefully thought out details. It's close to the station and it's very quiet. Yoshi is an amazing host. He helped us to plan our stay in Nikko so we could get the most out of it. On a hot afternoon he even put some beer for us in the fridge. Everything was perfect

We can wholeheartedly recommend a stay at HaruNikko! Haru and Ken (the hosts) have built a beautiful guesthouse that is very traditional Japanese. Furthermore are they exceptional hosts and helped us with anything we needed, be it information or help. We will definitely come back here when we are in Nikko the next time!

Kazumichi Fujita San and his family are great hosts. They are very friendly and helpful. Fujita San gave us some hot packs for our sightseeing because the weather had turned cold that day. Night before our checkout, Fujita San also offered to drive us to the station. But we didn't want to trouble them, because knowing they were busy with managing their business. On check out day, we walked to the station. Fujita was on his way back to the hotel. He spotted us on the roadside and insisted on sending us to the station. He told us that his sister texted him that we had just left the hotel. We were surprised that they even packed japanese souvenir snacks for our checkout. We felt so blessed to stay in this hotel with such hospitality. It would be wonderful if we could communicate in japanese to express our gratitude and thankfulness for such such a great stay.
