Not very central at all, so without a car you'll got some walking to do to the bus station.The man at the front desk was incredibly nice and welcoming! Truly the highlight of the stay.Putting it into perspective though how good ryokans across Japan can be, this doesn't deserve more than 3.5 stars for pricing and value. We had no towels in the room (needed to ask). We also did find hairs on our beds, while the bathroom was squeaky clean. The worst part was that people slammed doors and talking loudly until 11.30pm and it started again at 6.20am in the morning.I don't think this was guests, it must have been someone doing kitchen things or cleaning. You could hear this through earplugs in our room which was directly above the entry area.Overall, wouldn't stay again.

Recommend for those with car. You can use the abyss parking lot as the inn is right at the entrance. There is also a small playground next to parking lot. The room has a view of a stream. Better have dinner before checking in as most of the restaurants around the town close early and do not equip with car park

This was an amazing stay!! It was in a quiet part of Nikko, and you fall asleep to the sound of the river. The onsen was also such an amazing experience, it was private which was also a very nice touch. The onsen looks out over the river as well so it feels like a mountain getaway!! The location was so nice and so gorgeous. Definitely recommend staying here!! The staff were so nice and so welcoming.

Really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Lovely place on the river with a private onsen (non reserved with a 30 minute max). Staff wonderful, clean rooms and a nice breakfast for an additional 1500 yen per person. This area is so beautiful and has so much to offer.

A very enjoyable stay. The ryokan has a small private onsen where I was happy to warm up, tired after a day of exploring Nikko's temples and attractions. The Japanese-style room with a view of the river is an absolute revelation. It may be a bit away from the main road, but everything is close. Great for me.
