If you come to Nikko and you do not stay here you are definitely missing out! Yoshi-san and his wife are far and away the best hosts anyone could ever ask for. The rooms are clean, beds very comfortable, and it is right next to the Tobu Nikko train station. Yoshi-san is incredibly kind, humble, and thoughtful and he speaks English very well. He cares for his guests and wants to ensure they have the best time in Nikko. He provided us with fantastic advice for things to do while in Nikko, showed us how local transportation worked, and generally went above and beyond for us during the course of our trip. Definitely stay here at least 2 nights if you have the time—there is so much to see and do! This was the highlight of our Japan trip and our family will remember staying here for many years to come.

I was a guest for two nights and had a wonderful stay! The host Yoshi always had time for a chat and gave me lots of good tips for excursions. The accommodation is clean, cozy and in the evening you can read on the sofa, for example. In addition, coffee, snacks and water were available free of charge at all times. I'd love to come back!

With Yoshi waiting for you in his hotel, you will live an incredible Japanese experience that will allow you to discover the kindness and harmony of Japanese culture. Yoshi will go out of his way for you because his leitmotif is “please yourself to please yourself”. He didn't hesitate to take his car to walk with us under the waterfalls. A unique experience that will surely be one of the best memories of Japan. Yoshi speaks English!

A Real Japanese Experience in NikkoMy stay at this hotel (house) in Nikko was truly unforgettable. Run by a local family, the hotel offers an authentic Japanese experience you won't find anywhere else.The host, Yoshi is fantastic. He speaks fluent English and offers more than you could ever expect. Joshi not only arranges reservations at the best restaurants, but also takes you to beautiful places such as waterfalls, and gives tours with his own car at no extra cost.Joshi also provides valuable advice on sights outside Nikko, making your stay even more enriching. Thanks to him we had an enjoyable and unforgettable experience in Japan.If you are looking for an authentic Japanese experience with personal attention and excellent service, this hotel in Nikko is definitely the best choice.

Solo traveller, stayed here for 2 nights during the summer.Rooms: 1st floor is the reception, living room and kitchen. Second floor are the guest rooms. I was provided a bedroom and a study room. Rooms are clean and the bed was comfortable. Toilets and basins are shared with hygiene amenities provided. You can use the kitchen microwave.Service: the service and hospitality of Yoshi-san made the trip to Nikko pleasant. He will suggest excellent itineraries and restaurants based on your feedback. Conversed in English.Location: near tobu Nikko station, 5 minutes walk to the supermarket, 8 minutes to the konbini. You can take a bus to the local attractions or rent a bike from Yoshi (free for guests). Otherwise, the walk is about 25-35 minutes uphill to the shinkyo bridge.Overall, I enjoyed myself and would visit again.

Sanga Nikko was perfect. It was off-season, so it was very quiet, but Yoshi made us very welcome. The place is absolutely spotless and has everything you need. Location is great, a few steps from the train station and main street and a very short walk to the major sites around Nikko.

Yoshi-san is a fantastic host who made our stay at Sanga Nikko the very best accommodation experience in our 10 weeks of independent travel in Japan. Such a contrast to all those impersonal business hotels! All of the other reviews are quite accurate in emphasising his generosity and customer service. He genuinely enjoys communicating with his guests and has well developed English skills so you can ask him to explain all those baffling aspects of Japan you were wondering about. If you wish, he will recommend an efficient itinerary for Nikko and surrounds, reserve authentic local restaurants and assist with any personal requests.Yoshi and his wife offer the perceptive traveller an authentic Japanese home experience in a welcoming , comfortable and clean space, conveniently located near transport, restaurants and supermarket.We absolutely loved everything we visited in Nikko, which is beautiful but not overcrowded with tourists.. Our strong advice is to stay 2 or 3 nights as there is so much to see and do.

We really enjoyed staying there. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. Yoshi-san takes beautiful photos in his studio and offers advice on the surrounding area. The common area is well laid out, well equipped and always clean. The location is ideal, right next to the train station and bus stop. Thank you again for having us.

First of all: We stayed in Nikko for 4 nights and I have to say, we could have stayed there longer. Nikko is not just the temple but there are great hiking areas around it.About Sanga Nikko: If you have no problem sharing very clean individual showers and 3 toilets with the other guests (maximum 6 in total) it is one of the best locations you can imagine. Everything was clean and comfortable and Yoshi, as a host, is one of the most helpful and warm people I have had the pleasure of meeting. He will support you on site with everything, from rental bikes to reservations to hiking tips. You feel more like a guest at a friend's house than in a hotel.We hope that it won't be our last stay in Nikko.

Fabulous customer service from the owner Yoshi-san. He is like a super concierge who will provide personalised sightseeing advice and bookings. He connected with me on what’s app to answer any questions during the stay, including restaurant bookings, travel advice etc. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, with multiple sinks, bathrooms and WCs. Lots of small touches like free fresh fruits in the kitchen, little amenities etc. it’s a stones throw from the Tobu Nikko station. Highly recommended.

Could not recommend enough! Yoshi, the manager, was very nice and thorough introductions to the place. He helped us plan our trip to Nikko as well as extensive explanations on how we can get the best time out of Nikko. However, if you would prefer a shorter and more straightforward check-in then he’d be happy to do that too! The stay made our trip to Nikko so worthwhile.

Loved the stay at Sanga Nikko! It was convenient to prepare in the morning with the multiple toilets and basins, very cosy and homely place too. Environment is quiet, location is good and the owner Yoshi is very helpful and friendly. He even helped us take a picture to commemorate the stay! It is also near to the train station and supermarket.

Everything is super clean and tidy and the kitchen is well equipped.It is very close to the train station and bus station (~2 min walk).The owner, Yoshi, was very helpful and kind.
