The host was so charming and thoughtful! We had a great chat, he showed me around the property and told me about centuries-old trees nearby. He also prepared hot spring bath for my arrival which absolutely made my evening. The area was very quiet, I could hear crickets and see the stars. I basically had the property to myself because other guests changed plans due to the typhoon. But even if the house was full, I wouldn't feel cramped: the room was spacious, and the shared spaces are also quite big. The host also gave me a ride to the station.

The owner was such a lovely person, she went through the sightseeing of Nikko and showed us the house. The room was typical Japanese style with futon. She was so kind and prepared and offered a delicious breakfast, she also gave us an origami as fortune gift

Mariko's kindness is absolutely outstanding, even for Japanese standards. She is one of the best, if not the best host we have ever had the luck to meet. She even prepared a delicious breakfast for us and drove us to the train station because we were in a bit of a hurry. The lodging is simple yet lovely, cozy, in a great location and super clean. So top choice, you won't regret it!

Super kind host, it seems that she absolutely loves what she is doing. Very helpful, gave us a lot of information so we could easily navigate the area in no time, even drove us to town to start exploring. She made us tasty breakfast free of charge, asked what we like and it was no problem that we are vegetarian. Look up ikkigai – that's what you experience there in action.

Yoshi and his wife are wonderful hosts. During our stay, we received plenty of advice and help to explore the area and make the most of the short time we had in Nikko. The accommodation is beautiful, comfortable, very well located, and super clean. Next time we visit, we’ll spend more time in the area and will definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay at a charming new guesthouse I had a great stay at this cozy guesthouse. The host has just started out, and it’s clear she puts her heart into making everything perfect for her guests. She was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. She speaks English very well, which made communication super easy and comfortable. She also knows the neighborhood inside out and gave me great tips for local food and hidden spots I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. The room was lovely — decorated in a traditional Japanese style that gave the whole stay an authentic touch. One small thing to note: the sound of the nearby river can be quite noticeable at night. I didn’t mind it, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. Overall, a warm and genuine experience — I highly recommend staying here!

    Great hosts who went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. Spotless house, quiet location, beautiful touches to make it feel homely, an awesome bath that stays hot and fills automatically- the best bath I have ever had! Hosts had information including timetables for buses, shows at edo wonderland at their finger tips. Walking distance - 5mins to bus stop and only 10mins tops to train station. Host also took us to the train station in their private car - very friendly, polite and helpful. Loved our stay and wish we stayed longer.
