"Everything about the accommodation was excellent, especially the staff! Despite the communication struggles, they were very helpful and provided great service during my stay. The free shuttle service to the ski resort was also extremely useful as they would drive you to your desired resort and pick you up at your specified time. Without a car, there is limited access to any surrounding towns. There is a bus but it’s relatively infrequent. However, staying in is also great due to the 24 hour...

Top Sainoko Lake Hotel Reviews

Nikko Station Hotel Classic

10/10 Excellent

"Onsen was great, room was small but functional."

Nikko Senhime Monogatari

10/10 Excellent

"Dinner was excellent. Good portions of beef that melts in your mouth. Good amount of sashimi too."

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"Great, new hotel, large and comfortable rooms, nice big bed. Short bus ride or 24 minute walk from train station in Nikko town. Free coffee all day (nice machine). Recommend buying breakfast and perhaps dinner at the main grocery store close to the Nikko train station, for convenience. Good idea to rent a car at Toyota Rent a Car/Hertz as the drives through the mountains are great, and the local bus service is good, but does not run all day."

Nikko Station Hotel II bankan

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with a free basic breakfast very close to the station. Quiet, probs a bit dated but staff are lovely and close to the station, shops, large supermarket. Fresh towels hung on your door knob daily. Bus stop/both stations are max 4-5 min flat walk. If strong from Tokyo take the SpaciaX train. New, clean and very comfy (leaves Asakusa sun in Tokyo and stops at Ueno also from memory"

Okunikko Hotel Shikisai

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic experience at Hotel Shikisai. The staff were extremely courteous and attentive, the food was excellent (we got the "basic" coursed meal and it was divine!) and the setting is gorgeous and peaceful. Hotel Shikisai has a cozy lived-in feel, but don't take this to mean it is well-worn or undesirable AT ALL. It has a sentimental charm. Picture your favorite old forest lodge (for me it brings up the many WPA lodges in National Parks and National Forests in the States). We had the private onsen, and it was definitely worth any extra cost to pour a private epsom bath while gazing out at the forest on a rainy afternoon. Also, they keep you "hydrated" with free coffee, tea and happy hour booze on the daily!"

Nikko Hoshinoyado

8/10 Good

"The food is very good and well presented. However in-room amenities are minimal, same for the onsen (men) - no cotton ear-buds - and the hand towels do not smell clean."

Hatcho No Yu

10/10 Excellent

"If your goal is to get as remote as possible, this is the place for you. It’s an adventure to get to, but when you get there, the remote location provides a tranquility that is second to none. Wonderful experience."

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to lake, waterfall, and national park. Relaxing and serene atmosphere."

Chuzenji Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with a great location!"
