The accommodation features a private open-air bath. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

First and foremost, we really enjoyed and appreciated Elizabeth and Sitoshi's warm hospitality. Their kindness, generosity and attention to their guests' needs is second to none. The room was very spacious and well appointed. We loved sleeping in those comfortable beds... the most comfortable we had during our three weeks in Japan! The onsen was so great to enjoy after our long days hiking in beautiful Nikko. Breakfasts were excellent and we appreciated the efforts Sitoshi put into incorporating local Japanese delicacies into western fare. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

    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.

    The host and staff were great and super friendly. They gave us recommendations about places and restaurants. We had such a lovely stay at the guesthouse. Everything was clean and the guesthouse has only few rooms so it was quiet at nights. It took only 1-2 minutes to walk to Tobu Nikko station and many cafes and restaurants and a kombini near by. We highly recommend this accommodation for your stay in Nikko. Thank you :)

    Guest house was in a great location, really close to the train station and a family mart. The host was really friendly and helped us plan a hike with bus times and a guide he prepared himself. The toilets were modern and clean.

    Our time at Stay Nicco Guesthouse was very nice. The location at the river about 5-10min from the main street and the next bus stop was very convenient and quiet. The cabin was sooo kawaii with a lot of attention to detail as well as well equipped and clean. Our host took the time to explain the surroundings and attractions of the area along with giving us tips on where to spend our limited time. His wife even drove us to the train station. We regret not staying longer and would like to return :)

    Yoshi was a great host. Helped us to set up a great day to Senjogahara and beyond, good recommendations for meals, bus timetables etc. The place is very central but quiet. Enjoyed the photo, Yoshi is an expert, (not our usual thing). So happy.

    Great hosts, location close to shops and lakes ( my room had an attractive lake view), and although it is a fairly compact guest house my room was a good size and each room has its own designated shower and toilet cubicle. You have a short walk to a Shinto shrine currently hosting a Treasures of Japan exhibition and the entry there of a walk that is long and testing to the top of Mt Nantai. Or take the bus up to the much easier walks of the wetlands or other attractions.

    Very calm environment, quiet and dark at night. The room and living space is comfortable and clean. Near to bus station (3 mins walk) and Chuzenji Lake Bus Terminal (10 min walk, more bus back to Nikko station). There's also a small local supermarket near the hostel, offering cheap bentos and food ingredients. Owner is a guide, so you can learn more about the environment of Nikko.

    A great location next to the river and Shinkyo bridge. World Heritage area minutes away. Great access to everything. The room felt very luxurious with lots of personal touches. The breakfasts were amazing and the small bar was a treat after temple wanderings. Evening meal offerings were simple but delicious. The charming hosts made our stay very special.
