Hotels near Fish and Forest Observation Garden, Nikko

Beautiful design and view. Lounge and Bar are very good

Nice location. Very near to the Lake area. We could roam around easily from the location. Rooms are clean. The staff is very good. We can use the common kitchen area till 11 pm which is very convenient as no convenience store is nearby.

I love the woman who ran the front desk and did dinner service. It seems like the only other help she has is the chef and a young woman at meal time. As someone who has studied Japanese for a while but still has issues with basic conversation she was amazingly good at communicating with me in Japanese which gave me a chance to practice what I've learned (e.g. she'd ask me where I'm going next and then say Tokyo or Kyoto? By giving me options she helps my brain fill in what I missed in the preceding question. It worked so well I was able to understand all of the rules of the facility despite usually struggling really hard to understand anyone at native speed). But it also seems like their English is satisfactory too. I wouldn't go if you're inflexible or needy if only because there's such limited staff to cater to your needs. But if you want to be around super friendly and helpful people with a surprisingly good food service (of note: their recorded piano sounded oddly live. I forgot to check what it was playing out of) then I strongly recommend it. They helped me find an ATM, suggested a hike, made me caffeine free tea since I said I didn't want any caffeine during dinner, helped me check out early for the bus to ryuzu falls, and even checked to make sure I had an umbrella for the next step in my journey. Also the view is pretty dang good, it's right by the lake after all. The onsen isn't super impressive but I honestly can't tell the difference between any of the 5 I've tried. It's hot. And it's a private booking.

- Rooms were Renovated, spacious and very clean. Beds were quite comfortable. Lakeview from the rooms was perfect. - yuba tofu was a delight - very relaxing onsen. though its small but we liked for the peaceful stay in warm water, since not too many people can fit in

The staff provides top-notch professional service. They really know how to take care of you. The onsen, especially the outdoor portion, was delightful. Bus stop going towards Chuzenji/Nikko is right in front of hotel.

The location is amazing, the room was really nice and comfortable, I loved the breakfast. In general an amazing experience. Thank you very much,
