Top Chuzenji Onsen Hotel Reviews

Nikko Station Hotel Classic

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient for both trains and buses (all buses started by the hotel, so seats always avsilable). Good secure luggage storage area. Good breakfast."

Nikko Senhime Monogatari

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice with friendly helpful staff"

Rakuten STAY VILLA Kinugawa Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"Property is marvelously remodeled to western standards while retaining traditional Japanese essence. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood with no street noise whatsoever. The outdoor tub(onsen) us a welcome place of tranquility. Large drop down screen provided super video entertainment but candidly a large television would be easier to operate and adjust. Unit is a stone's throw from all the major sightseeing spots and others can be easily accessed by purchasing a day pass on the Red and Green loop buses. Definitely no need to rent a car as parking can be an issue. Easy to reach via 4 minute taxi ride from train station. Of particular note is the huge fish market which also has a large super market for breakfast essentials. Very much worth the stay."

Hotel Sunshine Kinugawa

10/10 Excellent

"Buffet dinner with steak and tempura. Good onsen water."

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!"

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

10/10 Excellent

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

Rakuten STAY VILLA Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"The condo unit was clean and beautiful, including the bath with hot spring water and sauna! Highly recommended!"
