    We got unacceptable cleaning issue: - While the toilets were marked at disinfect there was still the last sh*t of previous guest in... - A used mast was found in the jacked provided to go above the yukata - many spider nets in toilets area...

    Location is really great and well positionned to visite the shrines around - small but nice onsen allowing to have a first experience.

    It’s something different apart from the swanky Tokyo hotels, feels like a traditional Japanese experience!

    It is quite far from the JR or Tobu Nikko station. Recommended to request for the hotel shuttle 1 day in advance to save on transport fees (1100 cab ride). There is no shower in the hotel room, guests can only shower in the large bathroom (onsen)

    Gives off very homely and cosy vibes. Staff are mostly elderly and makes me feel like I’m family. Facilities are fairly clean and the accommodation is near to all the popular shrines.

    Pillows were too flat. Given the structure of ryokans, it's very easy to hear your neighbors and others walking down the corridors. The ryokan is quite old.

    First experience at a ryokan

    The room is very dirty, full of cobwebs and dust. There is black mold under the sink closet. Unimaginable that it can be that poorly maintained. We were thankful for the pickup, but the car sent to pick us up was very dirty and moldy inside. They need to clean the facility and that pickup car!

    Location is great - very close maybe 10 mins walk to Toshogu. Food is stellar with traditional Japanase kaiseki style. There is pickup and sendoff from and to the Nikko station.

    A very comfortable ryokan with helpful staff who did their best to help us, even with the language barriers. Communication online was good, and the train station pick up and drop off was greatly appreciated. Staying in a ryokan is very different to staying in a hotel, but as soon as you understand that, it's very enjoyable. The location is superb, being a close walk to the major temples and many restaurants and cafes nearby.

    I only wish the heater was hotter.

    The location of Nikko Tokanso is perfect. It is super close to all the temples and the Shinkyo Bridge. Also, if you like walking and if you are a light packer, you can walk to the hotel from the JR Nikko Tobu station. It is a nice 30 minute walk. There are cute shops and restaurants that you can look at, and the Shinkyo Bridge is on the way to the hotel! As for the hotel, it is a beautiful, comfy, traditional Japanese style Ryokan and has an awesome onsen (for 300yen extra! Great price!). The view outside my room was beautiful. There is an inside and an open bath as well! There was a sauna, but I didn't use it. But, I'm sure it's great too. And the food was excellent! More than enough!

    There was a traffic jam at the time we were leaving and taxi cannot come to the property because of the severe traffic jam. It shares the road for the main Toshogu visitor’s traffic to go to the parking lot.

    It is in the middle of the Toshogu property complex and it was so convienient to visit Toshogu on foot. You can’t be closer to Toshogu to stay than this. The staff was kind and meals were excellent. Highly recommend!
