Hotels Near Jao Waterfall in Nikko

Location:- The hotel is walking distance from train station and although bus is irregular, it is manageable. There is a small (super friendly) convenient store & restaurants near the hotel. Hotel Food - expensive but top Japanese quality Hotel Service - Superb.. ***** definitely 5 stars. I misplaced my phone and despite its late (almost 10pm), they helped me to search, even outside of the hotel., and in the end found it blocked by (under) my open suite case (i was packing to check out next day).. very embarrassing for me 😅😅.. so I really grateful for their patience and going out all the way to help me 🙏🙏

I went with 4 family members. It was cheap for half board per night, so I was a little worried, but I was worried. The room had the next room like a mahjong room. It was a room that I had been to a company on a employee trip around the Showa era. It was old, but there was no problem with cleaning, and the mountain stream was overlooked and the view was good. The meal is buffet style. Alcohol is an extra charge, and there is an all-you-can-drink plan for 60 or 90 minutes, and it is better for those who say that it is alcohol. I had a 90-minute all-you-can-drink plan and enjoyed eating for 90 minutes. There were quite a few types of dinner and breakfast, and I enjoyed various things according to my taste. Maybe it was due to the time, but the meal and the hot springs were soaked that I was able to relax.

For reference we stayed in the Standard Dormitory. There are 2 rooms, 8 beds in each that share 2 toilets, a single sink, a single shower and a small kitchen. The bathrooms, kitchen, and shower were always clean. However, the kitchen only has a microwave and some plates, bowels and a few cups. There is no stove top to cook anything and there is no oven to use. You’re limited to microwave meals or eating out. If you’re on a budget and only plan on staying a single night then this is a great place. Any more nights and I would recommend finding another place. The staff a friendly and speak great English.

Arrived at Hotel and parked the rental car in the car park for free. Staff were very efficient and check in was very quick. Japan is still very Covid conscious and masks are worn everywhere. We were advised that there were were facilities for making Tea/ coffee in the room and that we should take any provisions required (for free) from the table arranged in the lobby i.e. tea / coffee / toothbrushes..etc. Room was lovely and spacious with a comfortable bed and lovely en-suite- lovely deep bath (shower fixings would be low for taller individuals). They had an evening bar and Onsen (natural hot water spring separate for males and females). They had a restaurant that provided an extensive buffet menu for breakfast - very tasty, and they had a select menu for the evenings and what we tried was very tasty also. The staff in the Hotel and restaurant were most friendly and encouraged me when I attempted some Japanese words. A very lovely start to our holiday in Japan - Thank you for your hospitality, we would happily stay here again

It's about a 10 minute walk from the station. It's close to the famous suspension bridge, it's very clean, the facilities are new, and I thought the semi-open-air bath would be great! It also came with a washing machine, so I was happy to be able to wash it! There was a rice cooker and a barbecue stove, so I thought it would be easy to have a party.

I chose this hotel while thinking about sightseeing to the famous Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Lake Chuzenji. There were drinks in the lobby and I was able to take them freely. In addition, there were many types of Viking-style meals (dinner and breakfast), the taste was good, and there were several corners that were handmade on the spot, so I was able to enjoy it. The men's open-air bath was large and there were several types. In the morning, I was able to relax in the silence and soak in hot water and was healed. The hotel was old, but the room was spacious with Japanese and Western rooms, bed rules, or because of the special room. The area of Kinugawa, where the hotel is located, felt a lonely atmosphere without energy, but I was able to enjoy the countryside.

Service: Very good. A grandma in the restaurant recommended me the tofu skin at the station. Hot spring: Since there are only 16 rooms, the two times I went there were reserved. There are also free massage chairs in the lounge outside. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. (The terrace of the restaurant has a very nice view. There are lounge chairs inside where you can lie down all afternoon with a glass of happy water while enjoying the wind) The video below was taken from the balcony of the room.

I stayed at the annex's Aiyama no sho for a family and used it. Because the building is old, the interior and fixtures are suitable, but the room was large enough and the cleaning seemed to be well done. Because only the heating is powerful gas heater, the room temperature adjustment in the large room is a little tricky. The futon was an old-fashioned Senbei futon, but I could sleep without feeling cold even at night when the outside air was close to 0 degrees. As the hotel's name suggests, the hot spring is great, the smell of white turbid water and strong sulfur is impactful. The inner hot water in the annex is wet, and the main building with an open-air bath is hot. The next morning, the family said that the skin was wet with the mouth, and I was surprised that the middle-aged man was clearly wet. The customer service is also polite, and I think it is a very conscientious inn of reasonable price setting if I don't expect excessively from HP's clean photographs and decoration. Is it the best to spend with a friend who is good in the location and is not mindful? The bookcase in the lobby is biased in the good sense of the taste of the selector and is interesting, so please come.

We stayed 3 nights in a large room with 4 beds, 2 adults 2 teenagers. Just be conscious that the hotel is on Lake Chuzenji which is 30 or 40 minutes out of Nikko proper, served by a regular bus that goes up and down the mountain stopping at the different lakes, waterfalls, onsens, and historical sites. Hotel has own indoor and outdoor onsen which is fantastic. The chef does a nightly 3-5 course Japanese banquet which we found a bit challenging but was amazing. Different every night. The chef made our young daughter Japanese beef curry when she was struggling with the banquet.somewhat traditional, house robe and slippers in the house and so on. Definitely worth a visit.

Pension was cosy, clean and well equipped. Bath includes onsen. breakfast and dinner can be arranged with the host for a reasonable charge. It is quite a walk from the bus stop with rather uneven road if you have wheeled luggage. Owner was nice to give us a ride out (at her convenience) to the bus stop. View from room of Mt nantai is lovely and it is convenient to visit the waterfalls...especially yudaki which was the best in my opinion.
