We were pleasantly surprised with the mixed Japanese/Western family room. Room was large and included 1 queen, 1 single bed, tatami mat sleeping area 2 bathrooms and an attached sitting room. The host speaks some English and was able to communicate everything without too much difficulty. They have an indoor and outdoor onsen/tub for use. When you go in to use the onsen you flip a card on the door and lock the door behind you. Outdoor tub could fit 4 adults. Robes and slippers are provided in the room. Our kids liked sleeping on Tatami mats on the floor - bedding was easy to use. Bed was comfortable. Location and price were great! We did not include breakfast or dinner. The place is a bit hard to find - turn in to this drive way 36.750655, 139.580252 - house and parking are tucked away to the far right.

“Quality pension overall at a great price”

Location: about a 10-minute drive from the UNESCO sites in Nikko. You will need a car to get there. Google Map and GPS will both lead you to the wrong place. It's actually located just off the main road on 120. Service: The male owner knows simple English phases. He was busy throughout but… lisää

Location: about a 10-minute drive from the UNESCO sites in Nikko. You will need a car to get there. Google Map and GPS will both lead you to the wrong place. It's actually located just off the main road on 120. Service: The male owner knows simple English phases. He was busy throughout but made sure we understood everything about the facilities and then the meals. He just seemed too busy to be friendly but everything went well overall. Room: We had a room at the second floor of the main building. It was a typical B&B style with a sitting area and a large, comfortable bed. The room was originally two rooms combined into one so there were two bathrooms. There were some nicks and scratches, and the carpeting was somewhat worn. For a Japanese establishment, it's probably not 100% clean compared to some of the best hotels and ryokans, but it wasn't dirty by any means. TV size was small, and it could not be seen from the bed. Free WiFi in-room but somewhat spotty reception. There is an artificial onsen in the building next door. There wasn't much of a view though and it was quite small. Combined with the rainy and misty weather, we did not try it. Meals: Many Japanese pensions serve Western food and this one is no exception. Food quality was good overall. The onion soup and the fish were the standouts for dinner, while the breakfast salad was good. There are 1/2 bottle wines available for under 2,000 Yen. Conclusion: Two good meals, an overall decent quality room, all that for just 15,000 Yen for two people. Good deal overall. Recommended.
