Stay Nikko Guesthouse is the best place to stay at in Nikko! The owner is so friendly and cheerful. He is also very knowledgeable and can answer any questions about sightseeing and food recommendations. The house is very clean with a lot of nice amenities, nicely decorated, has beautiful views, and is in a very peaceful area. The property is very close (walking distance) to the sightseeing areas and Tobu Nikko station. Also, there are many restaurants and shops nearby the house. If you’re looking for a clean and comfortable stay in Nikko, I highly recommend Stay Nikko Guesthouse!!

This was a lovely, spacious space for a family to stay in. The location was perfect, walkable to the train station, buses, and world heritage temples. There was a beautiful view to wake up to as well. And our host, Kenji, was so friendly and helpful, giving us advice and enthusiastic recommendations. I couldn't recommend Stay Nikko more, we loved it.

A clean and friendly Guesthouse

The host is incredibly friendly and provides detailed explanations about Nikko. The place is exceptionally clean and tidy, including the floor under the sofa. The room is more spacious than expected, and the movable table allows us to easily open our large luggage in the room without any issues.

Really enjoyed my cosy 2 night stay here inside the 2 floor economy villa. Clean and Functional with everything you need! Thank you Ken for hosting, and thanks for both keeping our luggages on our last day and then offering to send us to the tobu-Nikko station in order to catch our train! Will definitely consider here again the next time I'm back in Nikko!

Comfy, convenient, friendly, helpful... Marvelous

A marvelous stay in a spacious and well equipped apartment. Not just a room, it included a kitchenette and lovely views, and a certain personalized charm. Way more than one would expect for the price, especially suitable for a family. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. They had lots of good advice and were willing to find out more if need be. They spoke good English and pointed us to our best meal in Japan. I'd certainly stay here again and again.

A Winter Wonderland Christmas

This was a perfect stay for our family of 5 over three nights. We were in town for a hockey tournament. There were enough beds for all of us to sleep comfortably. Each of our kids had thier own bed and my husband and I shared the full/queen. Seriously, this might be the most comfortable place we have stayed in Japan over the last two years. My younger two really enjoyed the bunk bed set up. We woke up to a winter wonderland and the view from our room was breathtaking. I'm from southern California and so are my kids, so the snow was enchanting. It was a wonderful location to celebrate Christmas with the family in between games. Our villa had a microwave, toaster oven, and fridge with freezer, dishes, utensils, a kettle, more than enough towels and toiletries. The host is incredibly welcoming, kind, and informative. He had a map layed out and labeled for us in English of great places to eat and visit that were within walking distance. He took the time to explain it all to us. I enjoyed reading all the notes previous vistors have left in the guest books. Nikko is incredibly beautiful and this modern space fits in nicely, a few streets back from the main road.
From the big window downstairs. The villa has a little patio.
From the big window up stairs you can see the river flowing.
We brought our own little Christmas tree and woke up to this beautiful view!

Tiny housse proche du centre de Nikko...

Lorsque nous sommes arrivés, notre hôte nous a accueillis en nous expliquant ce qui etait à visiter dans le coin, le fonctionnement des transports, les restaurants... ce qui nous a fait gagner du temps. Le logement etait petit mais bien équipé et très propre. Nous avons apprécié la petite terrasse pour prendre nos petits déjeuners dehors. Pour notre départ, nos hôtes nous ont aidés a organiser notre voyage jusque l'aéroport. Ils sont d'une grande gentillesse et disponibilité.
