Nikko Toshogu Koyoen

I made a Reservation thinking I would be traveling alone, but at the last minute a friend decided to join me, so I called directly to ask for adjustments. Thanks to your help, we were able to relax and enjoy our time together.Front desk: We were welcomed with warm smiles, and everything was explained clearly and politely, including meal details and the location/hours of the large public bath.Room: I stayed in a smoking Room (I’m a smoker), and it was spotless down to every corner—very comfortable.Meals: There was a great variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. The rice was perfectly fluffy and glossy. The serving staff were friendly and attentive. When someone at the next table dropped their dishes, they came over immediately and cleaned up quickly and efficiently.Bath: The changing area, large public bath, and open-air bath were all very clean, and the water temperature was just right.I also enjoyed the coffee available in the lobby. The pricing is very reasonable—there’s really nothing to complain about. If I had to say something… I only wish it were a little closer to my home (lol).I think I’ll be staying again.Thank you in advance when that time comes.

The location didn’t really feel like Nikko. Since we arrived in the evening, the taxi took a longer route and when we got there it felt like, “Where are we?” You can’t see any mountains, rivers, or lakes. That was the only disappointing part.The Room was clean.It was comfortable—not too hot or cold.Meals were a proper set-style dinner rather than a buffet for the first time in a while. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. The sashimi and grilled meat were both great.Finally, the Onsen. There is no sauna.There is a hotter indoor bath, and outside there are two bowl-shaped tubs plus a milder open-air bath. The lighting is nice, and I felt thoroughly warmed up.They quietly lay out the futon while you’re at dinner.Overall, I’m very satisfied.3 points:With no entertainment options, it feels like there’s nothing to do at night if you have children.The souvenir area wasn’t very appealing.I think it would be better to increase the Shuttle Service to/from the station, or have them pick you up if you call.
