Annex Turtle Hotori-An, hotel in Nikko

About a 20-minute walk from the Nikko shrines, Annex Turtle Hotori-An is located next to the Daiya river and green forests. It features hot spring baths with river views.

The location was fantastic! The property is right on the river and if you get a riverside room you can hear it with windows closed. The room had great a/c but the common area did not. We loved walking out the door to the riverside trail with the Jizo statues along it. The bus stop to Kegon Falls was an easy few block walk. The Kayan House and Imperial summer palace were an easy walk as was a Lawson’s and a few restaurants. One of our party enjoyed the onsen. I saw 2 e-bikes out front but we didn’t ride them. The staff is very welcoming but bring a translator app as they speak little English.

The surroundings are incredible beauty! Next to the station. The room was awesome, plenty of space, pretty clean, and quiet. Perfect to relax. It was so comfortable that I even extended a night. I definitely recommend this place and if someday I return to this area, this is my number one choice to book!!

    Lovely, clean and quiet place. Izumi was a great host. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. We had the privilege to see a mother deer with its fawn from our deck, it was spectacular. We highly recommend this beautiful stay.

    Great hosts who went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. Spotless house, quiet location, beautiful touches to make it feel homely, an awesome bath that stays hot and fills automatically- the best bath I have ever had! Hosts had information including timetables for buses, shows at edo wonderland at their finger tips. Walking distance - 5mins to bus stop and only 10mins tops to train station. Host also took us to the train station in their private car - very friendly, polite and helpful. Loved our stay and wish we stayed longer.

    The host and staff were great and super friendly. They gave us recommendations about places and restaurants. We had such a lovely stay at the guesthouse. Everything was clean and the guesthouse has only few rooms so it was quiet at nights. It took only 1-2 minutes to walk to Tobu Nikko station and many cafes and restaurants and a kombini near by. We highly recommend this accommodation for your stay in Nikko. Thank you :)

    Guest house was in a great location, really close to the train station and a family mart. The host was really friendly and helped us plan a hike with bus times and a guide he prepared himself. The toilets were modern and clean.

    Our time at Stay Nicco Guesthouse was very nice. The location at the river about 5-10min from the main street and the next bus stop was very convenient and quiet. The cabin was sooo kawaii with a lot of attention to detail as well as well equipped and clean. Our host took the time to explain the surroundings and attractions of the area along with giving us tips on where to spend our limited time. His wife even drove us to the train station. We regret not staying longer and would like to return :)

    Yoshi was a great host. Helped us to set up a great day to Senjogahara and beyond, good recommendations for meals, bus timetables etc. The place is very central but quiet. Enjoyed the photo, Yoshi is an expert, (not our usual thing). So happy.
