It was a wonderful experience, coming to Mr. Hiro's house. The accommodation was clean, beautiful, traditional, the conversation with the owner was very pleasant. I slept wonderfully there. I will always return to this place in my thoughts. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. And as a bonus, there is excellent and tasty drinking water. If you are thinking about where to stay in Japan, this is the right choice. Just don't make the same mistake I did. We were only for one night. We have to come back here for at least 3 nights.

I absolutely adored my stay at this place. The owner was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. Her breakfast was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The location is conveniently close to the station. The bedroom was cozy, with a comfortable bed ensuring a restful sleep. Everything about the experience was just perfect! Nikko holds a special place in my heart, and staying here only enhanced my love for the city

The owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. Cooked us a delicious breakfast even though it wasn’t included in the price and drove us to the station (only 5 minutes walking) so we could definitely catch the bus/train. Very clean house, comfortable futon beds and working air conditioning. All in all we had a fantastic stay at an authentic Japanese home and can only recommend Arai house. If we ever have the chance to come back to Nikko we would definitely stay here again

Awesome stay! Satoshi and Elizabeth were warm and wonderful hosts. The food cooked by Satoshi (very last minute) was also spectacular, and the dessert (home made ice-cream made by Satoshi) was amazing. The room was warm and clean and there was a very nice Kotatsu to use. The outdoor Onsen was also spectacular and heated perfectly! Definitely will stay again and highly recommend for everyone to try!

This place feels like home. Kumiko helped me find places to eat vegetarian, brought me to the local English club, upgraded me to a solo room as I was the only female traveller in the dorm, and spent time with us playing games. The guesthouse is also super conveniently located diagonally from the station, but there is no noise. A super nice experience !

The hotel is located in a very calm and peaceful part of Nikko, just next to a river. I fell asleep and woke up listening to the sound of water, I just love it. In addition, the hotel has an onsen and it was amazing after a long hiking day!!! All the staff are great and friendly. I got traditional Japanese room, which made my stay even more special.

The bbq area and deck was awesome, the Alexa feature inside the house was convenient and easy to use which made our stay pleasant. It was freezing outside so the Aircons in the house made it a pleasant stay. We had everything we needed. Excellent place just to get out of the busy city and unwind and get a glimpse of the beautiful mountain scenery and rivers around Nikko.

    Great location, super friendly host/staff, comfy beds, clean and tidy public spaces, very quiet at night even though it’s next to the train station. Had a very relaxing stay there, thank you!

    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 is a great and very kind host. He has loads of great tips about Nikko which were very helpful during our stay. The guesthouse is well organised and very clean. Cozy living room a d well supplied kitchen. Bikes are also available, which are great for moving around Nikko. All in all the best guest house we have had in Japan.

    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.
