As it is a very famous and long-established hotel, the service of the staff is impeccable. The hotel also offers English and Chinese language support. It is a convenient hotel as it is close to the world heritage site Nikko Toshogu Shrine. If you have a large budget, I highly recommend it.

This is a hot spring inn that has a shuttle service from Nikko Station. Many Chugoku and foreign guests use this inn, so I think they can provide English support. You can enjoy delicious Japanese food (kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）). You can relax in a beautiful open-air bath. Nikko Toshogu Shrine is nearby, so you can enjoy the World Heritage Site.

The hotel offers a shuttle service from the station and English support. If you are in good physical condition, I recommend taking a walk from the bridge to see the beautiful view. After that, you can walk slowly through the traditional hot spring town to reach the hotel. The food was delicious. The hot spring was also good.

This hot spring inn is located in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. There is a free shuttle bus from Nikko Station, so it is convenient. You can enjoy the open-air bath at this natural hot spring while watching the sun set over the mountains. Meals are Buffet style, and there is a live kitchen where the chef prepares the food right in front of you. The rice served at breakfast is from Tochigi and is delicious. There is a wide selection of Japanese side dishes, so I recommend it. The rooms are bright and spacious, and it is an affordable and comfortable place to stay.

I recommend the "Nikko Mori no Hotel" in Oku-Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. It is a Western-style building recreated by Japanese people, and I think it will be interesting for people from overseas. It is an inn with excellent hospitality, and has many repeat customers. It is very Japanese and nice.
