I work here! It's beautiful! Come experience Nikko!!!
I love Nikko. I have been there twice to visit my wife's family. Nikko is beautiful and the Toshogu Shrines are amazing. Definitely take the drive up to Lake Chuzenji. Any visit to Japan should include a trip to Nikko.
Nikko Park Lodge in Nikko … My wife spent three months in Japan for an internship and I flew out from Michigan to stay with her for a week. We decided to take a quick look at Nikko. We stayed only one night near the end of our trip and it was great. I wish we had stayed there at the beginning of our week because we would have changed our plans and stayed for several days. The stay was more pleasant than in any hotel. The employees were all extremely friendly and spoke English well which made things easy for us. The food was great and the other guests staying there were good company. If I can go back to Japan I will make every effort to stay a night here again.
Nikko Park Lodge in Nikko … My daughter and I spent two weeks travelling Japan using or JR Rail Passes. One of our first stops was a two night stay at the Nikko Park Lodge. The Japanese owners, Ken and his partner, a Buddhist Monk, are both fluent in English. The Lodge has a large common room used for meals, tea, gathering around in by the guests (mostly English speaking tourists with many working as teachers of the English language in Japan) and use of the free internet. The rooms are comfortable, clean and very affordable. Ken picked the guests up at the train/bus stations and he had sufficient time to guide a group of five of us around. Ken is a lot of fun and knows the area well. Nikko is a gem and is a highly recommended stop for beginning or ending a Japan Tour if you are flying into Narita Airport. I enjoyed the yoga classes in the morning with the Buddhist Monk, strolling around the temple grounds within walking distance of the lodge, and relaxing with other guests in an Onsen tucked up in the…
Minshuku Narusawa Lodge in Nikko … The lady is very nice, the set dinner's yummy, and the room is neat and tidy. The tatami and futon were comfortable. It's only that to get here you need to take a 10-minute walk from the station without very clear signs. But you can give them a call and they can pick you up in the station.
