Private onsen experience offered a perfect retreat after a long day, providing a real taste of traditional Japanese relaxation. The communal fridge and microwave were handy for storing quick meals or snacks after a tired day out.

Location isn’t the most convenient—the bus ride from the Tobu-Nikko station followed by a 5-10 minute walk felt long, especially with the uphill return. The shared bathrooms could become a bit inconvenient during peak hours. The toilets were surprisingly loud, easily waking you up at night.

Comfort and serenity near temples

Staying at Turtle Inn Nikko was a delightful experience, with a serene ambiance accentuated by the sounds of nature. The staff offered fantastic dining recommendations, ensuring each meal was a treat!

While the private onsen was wonderful, I did find the shared bathroom setup slightly inconvenient at times, especially during busy hours when others might be using it.

Delicious breakfast offerings

My stay at Turtle Inn Nikko was delightful. The owners were exceptionally warm and helpful, ensuring I felt right at home. The onsen was an absolute gem, providing soothing relaxation after explorations. The location is perfect for sightseeing, with beautiful temples within walking distance.

Shared bathroom facilities.

The Dim Sum at nearby Takumian was absolutely next level, like a flavor bomb on your taste buds! The staff recommended some fantastic local spots, and the private onsen was a perfect escape after a day of adventures.

The futons were a bit firm for someone like me with back pain, so I had to layer my blankets underneath. An extra futon or two would have been a game changer!

Charming Stay with Unique Japanese Touch

I enjoyed the authentic atmosphere and unique decor. The private onsen was a delightful experience, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. A tip for future guests—be ready for some unique toilet sounds!

Oh, and the toilets are a hike from your room. Let’s just say, my midnight workout routine got a bit too real!

The location is a standout, within walking distance of major sites, making explorations seamless. The friendly, attentive staff offered great tips for local attractions and dining options, enhancing the experience. However, the shared bathroom setup can be inconvenient at peak times, and the loud toilet sounds were quite distracting. The breakfast featuring fresh cheese bread was a pleasant surprise, fueling the day's adventures.

Great location for temples and shrines. Noisy toilet sounds were a bit distracting.

The onsen experience was delightful, a perfect retreat after a long day exploring. However, the shared bathroom facilities could be a bit inconvenient during busy times, and the toilets were noticeably loud, which could be disruptive at night. Additionally, the lack of toiletries such as toothbrushes detracted slightly from the overall comfort of the stay.

Had a great time with my friends! The private onsen was perfect after our visits to the nearby temples and waterfalls. The staff was super helpful, letting us store our luggage while we explored. Supermarkets and restaurants are just a short walk away, making meals easy. I really recommend getting a taxi from the train station since it’s easier than taking the bus.

One minor downside was the toilets, which were pretty loud. Definitely something to keep in mind for late-night visits.
