"The first night I was there, I could smell the smoke from the nearby smoking room, each time it was used.

"There are two rooms in total, one is mixed room and the other is female room. Since my friend and I were the only guests that day, the owner treated us very good and very willing to provide information about nikko to us! And the hostel is quite close to JR and tobu station. We visited there in winter, and it was snowing, but inside the hostel was very warm, heaters and warm water bags were provided. I must stay there next time when travel to nikko."

"I loved the villa that we stayed in. It was very spacious and clean. The bathrooms were very luxurious with a soaking tub, sauna and hotspring water. The place is a bit far to walk to from the station if you have bags, so taking a taxi for a few minutes from the station is a better option. "
