Nikko × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I found this Accommodation while looking for a place with great food and made a Reservation. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent, and we were very satisfied! It also has great access to the two shrines and one temple, and with checkout at 12:00, we could take our time—being able to go out after breakfast and come back was especially convenient. We would love to stay here again when we visit Nikko. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a mother-and-daughter trip to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We have stayed at many Accommodations, but our time at Fufu Nikko was truly unforgettable and the best experience we could have hoped for. The Room was extremely comfortable, and the in-room Onsen was wonderfully relaxing—we enjoyed it many times during our stay. The dining was also outstanding. Each dish was beautiful to look at, thoughtfully presented on lovely tableware, and you could really feel the care and attention behind every detail. Everything tasted delicious. The final dish—rice with conger eel and lotus root—was especially wonderful, but we were so full that we couldn’t finish it. That is my only regret. Even now, my daughter and I still say, “We wish we had eaten it all.” The whole cake we requested in advance for my daughter’s birthday was also set up beautifully when we returned to our Room after dinner. They even added flowers along with the cake, and my daughter was deeply touched by their thoughtfulness. Thanks to you, it became a truly memorable birthday. Above all, what stayed with us most was the hospitality of the staff. From the warm welcome on arrival to the heartfelt send-off at departure, everything felt comfortable. Wherever we met someone, they greeted us kindly, and each small gesture of consideration felt genuinely warm. The explanations of each course were clear and attentive, and the casual conversations in between were enjoyable as well. The service never felt formal or stiff—just perfectly attentive with a comfortable sense of distance—and both my daughter and I were completely charmed. Of course the Facility and cuisine were exceptional, but this stay reminded me that what ultimately makes you think “I want to come back” is always the people. Even after returning home, my daughter and I haven’t stopped talking about Fufu Nikko. We’ve become big fans of “Fufu,” and are already planning which Fufu property to visit next—with hopes of visiting them all someday. I sincerely thank all of your staff for making this important birthday trip with my daughter such a wonderful memory. We will definitely return again. Thank you very much.

I have stayed here several times with my family, and this time I visited with friends. The Room was clean and comfortable, the meals were delicious, and above all, every staff member was truly pleasant and welcoming. I think this is an ideal Ryokan for a relaxing stay. If available, I recommend reserving a Room with an open-air bath. After soaking in the open-air bath in your Room, it’s wonderful to move to the massage chair and unwind with a massage. Once again, we had a fantastic experience.

The staff’s wonderful smiles, their kind and attentive service to my mother who travels with me, delicious cuisine that delights all five senses, and an Onsen you can enjoy as much as you like whenever you like—everything about this Accommodation is consistently excellent, so we keep coming back. The Rooms are clean and comfortable with a strong sense of privacy, and each Room has a completely different atmosphere, which makes it fun to try them all. We would love to visit again in a different season.

The location right in front of the station was very convenient, and it was also helpful for storing our luggage. Although it was listed as a Room with some issues, we did not notice any odor, and it was spacious and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and made our stay enjoyable. Thank you very much.

Because they cannot accommodate a large number of guests, they provided attentive service to each party. There were also guests who came just for meals, so they were busy, but it never felt hectic—truly a wonderful Accommodation. Every dish was delicious, but the portions were more than someone in their 50s could finish, so we left some. It’s best to arrive hungry.

The architecture, service, and dining were all exceptional—an experience that went beyond anything I had imagined from a Hotel stay. Although the building is historic, it is clearly cared for with great attention, making for a very comfortable stay. This time we stayed in a suite in the annex, and the view of the main building from the window was beautifully framed; if you love architecture, I highly recommend viewing the main building from the annex. The food was also delicious, and it was a truly wonderful stay. Thank you very much.

We were very satisfied with the excellent service, cuisine, and Facilities.

I fell ill and had to ask my brother’s family to go in my place. My nephew loves rice, and I have never seen him eat bread. However, dinner was bread-based, so they assumed he wouldn’t eat much. Instead, they said everything—the dishes and the bread—was delicious, and the three of them finished a meal meant for four. They also told me breakfast was truly wonderful. My brother and his wife, who are constantly worried about their son, said they had a very comfortable Hotel stay thanks to the excellent care from all the staff. Thank you very much for your kindness. Thank you as well for the get-well gift for me. June is both my birthday month and your Hotel’s celebration month, so I was disappointed that I couldn’t visit myself. I hope to visit again soon.

I chose this Accommodation for its convenient access to Toshogu Shrine. Perhaps because many international guests stay here in large groups, the Room was spacious and comfortable. I was also happy that I managed to have the large public bath all to myself at just the right time. Breakfast was refreshingly different—you can choose from four kinds of grilled fish (I think), and there were plenty of dishes, so I was satisfied. If I had to mention a couple of concerns: the bath towel had a smell I didn’t like, and there was a long list of guests’ surnames displayed at the entrance. Considering that someone could take a photo and post it on social media for the whole world to see, it didn’t feel comfortable having names written where all guests could see them. (Maybe I’m just overly sensitive about it…)

We stayed as a two-generation family of four. Since my mother has difficulty walking and a barrier-free Room happened to be available, we chose this Room. It was very convenient, on the same floor as the lobby lounge. The Room was furnished as shown in the photos, but some pieces felt a bit in the way for moving around. The toilet door was heavy, and for an in-room toilet it felt oddly like a hospital-style door. There was also a large mirror directly in front of it; the placement wasn’t great because it was on the wall by the toilet and could be seen from the sofa while resting, which I didn’t like. The Room itself is very spacious, which is great. You can step out onto the balcony through the bay window and enjoy fresh forest air, which felt wonderful. The view wasn’t great since we were on the 3rd floor, but in return, the view from the 6th-floor bath area was unbelievably beautiful—something I’d never seen before—and I highly recommend using the baths. The food offered many dishes, and because the lobby area is spacious, getting around during meals was smooth—it really felt like being at a resort. Drink servers were set up so you could get beverages in various areas, and overall service was excellent. We could feel thoughtful service at every moment and truly enjoyed all-inclusive stay. For activities, there seem to be table tennis, karaoke, tennis, etc. Overall, it felt like most guests were Japanese.

A calm building nestled in the countryside, a gentle garden of mixed trees, tall windows, and spacious guest rooms and baths enhanced by indirect lighting—everything felt like an escape from everyday life. It’s a quiet place where adults can truly relax at ease. For our first unmanned check-in, it went smoothly after we entered the required information in advance using the email sent shortly before arrival. We made a Reservation for the breakfast bread set. After check-in, it was neatly placed in the refrigerator. The long-established roast beef was convincingly delicious! The bread was excellent too—and when we wondered where it was from, we found out it came from a famous bakery. That attention to detail really showed their commitment to quality.

I arrived a little earlier than the expected arrival time I entered during the Reservation, but I was promptly picked up, which was very helpful as it was snowing. The Room was lovely, and the meals were extremely delicious. It was a trip for a special occasion, and I had a luxurious day that made it truly memorable. I would love to stay here again.

We stayed here for our summer vacation, using two Rooms for my daughter’s family (four people), us, and three dogs. Our grandchildren were delighted with the spacious Room, the Onsen, and the delicious meals. Since our two-year-old grandchild can’t eat adult meals yet, the staff kindly served food that seemed suitable, which we really appreciated. We would love to stay again when sightseeing in Nikko.

This was my fifth stay, and I visited for three consecutive months. I love the beautiful presentation, delicious food, and the open-air bath. The Room is spacious and wonderful as well. The owner is very kind, making this an Accommodation I definitely want to return to.

It was compact and I felt comfortable using it. At breakfast last time, I saw everyone eating yakisoba, so I tried it this time. The thick noodles were delicious. I would like to stay again.

Although it was a corner Room, as you can see from the exterior, the wall had a gentle curve, and we could enjoy various views outside through the small window from different angles! There was also a decent amount of space besides the bed, and it was very comfortable.

Check-in is until 10:00 PM, but it was reassuring to know it would still be okay even if I arrived late. I struggled because I couldn’t figure out how to enter the passcode at the door. Since there is no front desk, there was no one to ask… The shower room door wouldn’t open, and when I contacted support via the tablet, the staff member was a foreigner and we couldn’t communicate well… (They were doing their best, so it didn’t leave a bad impression.) I also had trouble because there was no hot water for the bath, but it turned out the water heater switch wasn’t on… (If guests are going to use hot water anyway, I wish it had been turned on.) The tablet stand was broken, and when I touched it I found signs of a previous repair with duct tape on the back. (Just to be clear—I didn’t break it.) The Room felt clean, and the cooking utensils were more than adequate. (If coffee is provided, I’d also like milk and sugar!) There was also a washing machine and a drying rack, which impressed me. I’d like to stay at another Accommodation in this group when traveling elsewhere.

We stayed here for a family trip. Since it was close to Toshogu Shrine, sightseeing was very smooth. The hospitality and service were excellent, and the bath was great, though it looked a little different from the photos on the website. The view wasn’t quite as scenic as in the photos, but we were still very satisfied. They also let us leave our car after check-out, so we were able to visit Toshogu Shrine during that time—something you can only do at a nearby Hotel.

I booked after availability opened up about a week before Golden Week and again right before my stay. The kettle was already filled with hot water, which felt like a thoughtful touch and made a great impression. The staff, almost like concierges, provided attentive service with just the right amount of distance, and I was very satisfied. At meals, the staff were not native Japanese speakers, but their Japanese and hospitality were excellent, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Because I work with people like this professionally, I appreciated it even more—and staying at a place that employs such capable staff made me even more satisfied. I would love to stay again and would recommend it to others.
