Hotels near Shimoimaichi-eki

"Just a tip for those like us who are new to "no-receptionist check-in" stay-in/hotel/motel, make sure to check your email for the Room Number and Security Code. We got our "room information" via email, sent two days before the start of our stay. I highly suggest to arrive at location and check-in as early as allowed to give ample time to rectify any issues, and to pre-register/check-in. For example, in our case, we booked this December 2024 and it's snowing in Nikko, we arrived at our room around 6:30 PM and it's really cold. Without the room code, or if there was an issue, we could have been stranded out in the open. This place is walkable from the two train stations: the JR Nikko Station and the Tobu Nikko Station. It is a lot closer to JR Nikko Station, by about 2 min walk so it's still a good 10min-15min walk from either stations. If you have a lot of luggages (or really heavy ones), I recommend to book a taxi to get to the location since the path/road has a lot of uneven areas. There is a nearby 7-Eleven that is open 24hrs, it's a decent store and have available food, drinks and other essential amenities. The place is clean, great onsen, decent kitchen, nice shower. My only complaint is the isolated toilet, as there is no separate faucet that has "warm" water for washing hands. In our room, the "faucet" is built to the toilet bowl, and water pours down during the flush but it is so cold, and the faucet stops after the flushing stops."

"Nikko Cottage FU-SHA is a delightful retro authentic Japanese accommodation experience. The very kind, helpful & friendly host picked us up from the train & dropped us back on our departure day. We found the cottage to be in a beautiful location in a residential area, with comfortable traditional Japanese beds, a room for our luggage, fully outfitted kitchen with breakfast foods provided. The bathroom was very large and well equipped. We walked to lovely local eating options of restaurants & cafes and walked to the World Heritage shrines and temples of Nikko, which together with their natural surroundings was an amazing experience. We loved our 2 nights in Nikko, which was not long enough, and will definitely return & would love to stay at the cottage again."

"History of the hotel. "

"Have to take a taxi to and from the hotel. No breakfast but microwave, small oven and coffee machines are available. Rooms are way larger than the average in Japan"

"Above expectations, loads of surprise amenities and mod cons "

"The property provides good service to the traveler. Walkable from the station. It is very convenient. The breakfast could improve. "

"Very very nice"

"one of my best places to stay in Japan so far, clean, ryokan experience, amazing Japanese breakfast, nice staff. definitely recommended "

"Charming ryokan. Onsen on top floor has separate bathing for men and women, lovely way to begin and end the day. The rooms come with half board, so a very special dinner and breakfast filled with Japanese delicacies. Location is convenient, it’s about a 15 minute walk from the tobu Nikko station but you can take the number 1 bus that leaves you a block or so away. Quite convenient to the attractions. Lovely mountainous view with brook from the window."
