The property was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It was a gorgeous area. The owner was very kind.

There is nothing to dislike. The property was warm, multiple airconditioning/heatpump units but even with them off the property seems to be well insulated to combat colder periods.

We had a wonderful stay here. The owner lives downstairs but he keeps away unless you’re checking in or out. Upon arrival he greeted us with orange juice, a map of the area and recommendations. Daily amenity refills provided, rooms cleaned. Rooms comprised of a twin and tatami/futon room (all upstairs). A wonderful, quiet area very close to all of the action in the World Heritage Area. By booking this property your money goes directly to locals instead of corporations. Experience the real Japan.

Was slightly disappointed that we're no cooking/ laundry facilities at the house, but otherwise fab.

Stunning location, with loads of beautiful, historical and cultural sites within walking distance.. Possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been.

Koundo Guest House is a beautiful 2-store traditional style japanese house located in a lovely neighborhood nearby many touristic spots in Nikko. The manager - a kind and discrete old japanese man who sleeps in a room downstairs - receptioned us with soft drinks and showed us the house facilities and a map of the neighborhood. We loved the whole experience and we certainly want to come back one day.

I like how it was like living in an authentic Japanese house. The old man living downstairs was very helpful despite his imperfect English. He even advised us where to get good food and breakfast nearby and what to visit. The area is so beautiful and picturesque and at walking distance from the main temples. He was always home, so you didn't need keys.

This traditional house was beautifully presented. We had the whole place to ourselves which was nice.There was under table heater for the cooler nights and mornings. the bathroom was clean and modern with amenities provided. Our host although not a lot of english was spoken, was kind and helpful. The position was in a quiet location, close to the imperial villa, the kanmangafuchi abyss, and only a short 10min walk to the shinkyo bridge and the famous temple and shrine area of nikko. The closest bus stop to travel towards chuzenji lake was only a 5 minutes walk away as was the handy lawsons convenience store. The price for this gorgeous place was a bargain.

Host was generous and provided suggestions for the local area. Had the entire upstairs to ourselves. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to stay for a few days and enjoy what the area has to offer.

Lovely, very traditional and comfortable place to stay in Nikko. Near to many of the main temples and a lot of space for a very reasonable price. The owner was also very kind, allowing us to check in a little early and booking our taxi back to the train station upon leaving.

Nothing. It was perfect for my needs.

Excellent accommodation. The owner is very friendly and helpful and the accommodation is very close the the main attractions of Nikko which means you can avoid lengthy traffic Jams into car parks. . I cant imagine there is a better place to stay in Nikko for a family of 4. Fully recommend.

I was late for the arrival for an hour so I called the owner on the way and it was fine. When we arrived he was there in the facility and gave us a welcome drink and a brief guide. He seems like kind of a shy person living downstairs. We were the only guest and stay without meals. This place doesn't offer the use of the kitchen but there is a microwave oven downstairs so we could heat our breakfast that we got "100 years curry pie" from Kanaya hotel. We had dinner at the local Chinese restaurant where the owner suggested and it was very reasonable and good! There are not many restaurants open for dinner time since shrines and temples close early and most tourists stay in big hotels to eat at their place. We were very happy to find this guesthouse. Very beautiful place in an excellent location with a reasonable price!
