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.

The house owner Ms Arai is very attentive and generous. It is very heartwarming. Right after we arrived, she offered to drive us to Toshogu Temple so we would not miss out the opening hours. When the shops and restaurants of Nikko almost all closed after 6pm, she drove us around town to look for restaurants that were still opened. She offered us free homemade breakfast on both days of our stay. One of the days we had to leave very early in the morning but she still served us breakfast and drove us to the station 6am in the morning. She also offered useful advice on our stay in Nikko. We are very grateful for her help 💖💖💖

I like the vibe, the hostess and host treat us friendly, even though they only can speak few English, they provide us with a lot of suggestions about Nikko and take care of what we need all the time like family.

The hosts are both amazing!! Very friendly and eager to help us with everything we needed. We had not chosen to have diner there (bad decision because I believe it must have been amazing) and they suggested to make a reservation for us at an excellent restaurant nearby. The breakfast was served in a very cosy and homey feeling living room and it was a classical western style with eggs, bagels etc which was exceptional! I have nothing but wonderful words to say about this experience. Totally recommended! I would like to revisit and spend more time there. Thank you for everything

Location was very convenient and accessible, as I could easily walk from the station and bus stop under 5 minutes even with heavy luggage. Beds in the dorm were comfy and shower facilities were perfect. Probably my favourite part though was the people. Hosts Kimiko San and Suzuki San were very hospitable. They offered suggestions on the itinerary, as well as nearby onsens to try. My favourite part of the trip though was joining an English practice meetup at Picnikko, where I got to meet other Nikko locals. Everyone was very warm and welcoming and I had a lovely time:)

This is a really lovely place. It has everything you need. It is very clean and quiet. The bathroom and kitchen are in generous size. The futon beds are very comfortable. We also love to have our dinner outside in the big patio. Safa is an excellent host. He is always responsive and accommodating. Nikko is a beautiful place with rich history and beautiful nature. We wish we could spend more time there.

Excellent place for budget-minded diy-traveller. We rented a car for a week to drive around the surrounding areas and towns, and returned to our "home-base" after each day. There was a free parking area provided by the facility. The room was really large and spacious, with a bit of a retro feel to it. This is what it must feel like to go to stay at your japanese countryside granpa's place, I think. Tatami floors and futon beds.

    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.
