Overall good stay.

The service staff was good, except on the day of checkout when they were very insistent that we checked out before the 10 am checkout time, even though I kept explaining that I had my children and wife still in the room while I returned my rental car. They almost made me late returning my car by having me explain my whole itinerary to them that morning.

This is a small hotel with limited hotel rooms. Some rooms need to shared bath. We stayed in a Japanese style room with a private bath. The room is not fancy but clean and confortable. The hotel is walkable distance to most of the attractions, only 2 min walk to Shokyo bridge, 15 mins walk to Toshogu Shrine, and 18 mins walk to Tobu-Nikko train station. The Heritage shuttle bus stop 7 is right in front of the hotel.

A well located ryokan close to Nikko-Tosho-gu.

Nikko Tokino Yuu was a convenient hotel for an overnight visit to Nikko to see the shrine and tomb of Tokagawa Ieyasu at Nikko-Tosho-gu. with simple Ryokan style rooms and a modest basement onsen, this was a comfortable hotel for a night.

Perfect place in Nikko

We really enjoyed our stay at Nikko Tokino Yuu. The room was spotless, roomy and decently equipped. The service was really friendly and helpful even if we do not speak Japanese very well. I especially loved the large public bath. It was quiet and well-maintained, and had a view of a small garden. When I was enjoying a bath there, it started to rain lightly. I could smell the rain and see the plants get a little wet - it was the best feeling ever. If we were ever back in Nikko, we would come back to this place!

Although the facility is not the type of ryokan that provides an option for half-board, the facility is spotless, including the room, bedding, bathroom, and public onsen. They have strict COVID measurement procedures, which made us feel safe and comfortable! The manager lady who heard us going out to the bar and they checked on us for transportation which we didn’t ask for; they cared for their clients. We feel warm-hearted. Thank you for such comfortable and cleanliness of the facility for us to stay!

A warm, freindly, traditional experience

We arrived at 11:30pm do to traveling late, I received multiple emails from the hotel asking what time I would arrive (I unfortunately didn’t see them until I arrived because I wasn’t checking my phone). This was very responsible of them and I appreciate their concern. The hotel room is bigger than I thought it would be and the futon was comfortable. The closing time for the bath hous is reasonable and very warm. I enjoyed all of our amenities and the front desk is so kind! Thanks again!

We couldn't have been happier with this ryokan. While not a onsen with a natural spring bath, we went in not sure what to expect and truly enjoyed our stay here. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the facilities were exactly the ryokan experience we were looking for. As for that shared bath, fantastic and calming! Great location for the World Heritage Sites, too!

The location of this hotel is fantastic and the staff is wonderful. Unfortunately the smoke smell that permiated the entire hotel was quite off-putting. The rooms are clean and nice but be prepared for the traditional Japanese bed. The mats provide nearly zero cushioning so sleeping was very uncomfortable.
