Gableview Forest Inn ゲーブルビュー, hotel in Nikko

1.8 miles from Tobu Nikko Station in Nikko, Gableview Forest Inn ゲーブルビュー features accommodations with access to a hot spring bath, public bath, and open-air bath.

This was our second time staying at the inn. Of course, the owners, Satoshi and Elizabeth remembered us and were just as friendly and helpful as our first visit 2 years ago. Satoshi remembered that we weren’t able to find a soba restaurant open on New Year’s day the first time and did research to find one for us. I was so touched by his kindness. There is a new lovely shared bathroom and many new interior design pieces. I’m still in love with the open air bath that can be reserved. It’s such a relaxing, friendly inn with lovely owners. I highly recommend it.

NIKKO stay house ARAI - Vacation STAY 14994v, hotel in Nikko

NIKKO stay house ARAI - Vacation STAY 14994v is located in Nikko, just 1.8 miles from Nikko Toshogu Shrine and 13 miles from Kegon Falls.

We had a lovely stay and this was largely down to the owner Mariko who was so welcoming and helpful during our stay. She made us a wonderful breakfast and gave us handmade gifts when we left. The room was large and clean, and the futons had a heated blanket underneath- perfect for the time of year we went. The house is within walking distance to the train station and bus stops so it was all very easy to get around and see all the sights. Nikko was one of the most magical places we have experienced on our trip so far. I would choose this type of stay over a hotel any day, it was much more memorable.

    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.
