Turtle Inn Nikko

A quiet, unassuming, and rustic inn on a small backroad, perfect for just getting away from the busyness of life. Staff are friendly and the location accomodates English speakers. Very close to convenient bus stations and nearby restaurants/tourist locations as well! Would go again.

Small Inn very close to major shrines in the area. Reception desk was extremely helpful in pointing out places to eat and where to walk to get around the area.

It was an easy bus ride and a short walk to the Inn. The hostess was very helpful and once arrived all the attractions were within walking distance. Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore Nikko.

We absolutely loved our short stay at Nikko Turtle Inn. The area is so beautiful, and it was convenient to all the Nikko attractions (we had a rental car). The property was adorably retro (but comfortable), the staff was delightful, and the on-site onsen are private. We are heavily tattooed, and finding an onsen that allows us in is not easy. We appreciate that it was not a problem!! We would absolutely stay at Nikko Turtle Inn again!!

Had a nice stay at turtle inn, Nice hot bath, friendly staff, Easy to get around, close to shops and bus stop, Only problem a noisy family with 2 children making lots of noise late at night and early in the morning. Would recommend this place to stay.

This is a lovely little hotel close to the main sightseeing sights of Nikko. The room was basic but clean and warm. The onsen bath was so convenient. They were really helpful by directing me to places and lending me a charger. Unfortunately though they weren’t able to provide a vegan breakfast which would involve providing soya milk instead of cow’s milk and tofu instead of egg, which should be easy in Japan. Thus should be offered if it wants to be considered as an eco hotel.

In spite of paying 15k for small room ,facilities were not up to the mark .Very bad

This is a family-run onsen. It’s a small place which turned out to be good for us as the baths were private & we didn’t have to worry about the spread of COVID19 in the communal baths

We came to Nikko as part of a longer trip around Japan. It was absolutely super. The Turtle Inn was a bit difficult to find as there’s another one called Turtle Annex, but the customer service at both locations was brilliant. There’s free parking and the owner carried our bags upstairs and showed us around. There are hot spring baths that you can have private use of. We stayed in a traditional Japanese room and the futons were laid out for us when we arrived which was great. We fell asleep to the sound of running water from the river outside our room. The hotel is a little bit on the older side and you can tell it’s had a lot of use, but it was clean and I would definitely stay there again.

A real bargain! Clean, cozy, and comfortable. Tatami floors and futons, mineral spring baths.The staff all speak at least some English (the owner is fluent) and were extremely helpful. Very friendly! They recommended places to eat and helped us arrange transportation. The hotel itself is a little dated but the staff’s hospitality and its proximity to Toshogu and the Kanmangafuchi Abyss (10 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively) more than makes up for it. If, like me, you plan to spend most of your time in Nikko sightseeing and exploring, and are just looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable place to sleep and bathe, this is the inn for you.

Very friendly staff with good English. I left my walking poles on the bus and they collected them for me from the bus lost property that evening. Also loved the hot bath.

Staff was great. They are friendly and they helped us a lot to have a terrific experience in Nikko. The property is awesome

The inn is rather like a hostel than a hotel. It is by a river, and is about 10mins walk from bus stop, sights, and restaurants. It's OK if you don't have luggage, otherwise it will be quite a test. The place itself is decent and clean, just small. Our bad experience mainly came from that the owner insisted in charging us extra because we booked for "1 person" rather than "2", even though we had a double room with bath. He said it rudely that it was either pay up or get out. To subject a guest to that is an experience no hotel guests should do.

Nice hosts, very helpful and polite. The hot bath is great and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing in the cold weather of Nikko. Near to Kanmangafuchi Abyss, nice location for a short hike.

Excellent location in walking distance to all attractions in Nikko area. Owners are helpful and obliging. Comes with 2 private baths which are always easily available for use.

Very comfortable and the owners were very friendly and willing to help at everything. Good facilities imcluded ofuro (Japanese bath), yugata, bathing utensils and everything else, you can almost stay without any belongings. Comfortable bedroom with a table and chairs in japanese style. The utmost impressive thing was when me & my friend were running to catch the bus and about to miss the last train, the owner showed up with his car driving to find us and offered to drive us to the station for free. We were very happy staying and totally recommend for anyone who is going to Nikko. Best hostel ever, we will surely go back there again!

The hotel is a walk distance from a bus station and has great views and temples just 10 minutes walk from it. The hotel staff was extremely nice and warm and showed me the facilities personaly. The room was a tradition Japanese looking and answered all my expectations. Overall great experience.

The inn is very close to the temples and shrines. The facilities are also very good, with a private hot spring bath provided. The place is very clean as well. The owners are also very nice and helpful, provided a map and detailed instructions on how to travel around along with nearby eating places. Toiletries are also provided! One thing would be that the room does not have a curtain and given that the sun rises quite early in Japan, this could provide sleeping difficulties especially if you do not wake up early. Overall a very great stay and I might go back again if I'm back in Nikko :)

Very nice hostel with Japanese style rooms and baths. Very helpful and friendly staff. Perfect place to visit all the beautiful sites and temples of Nikko. 20-30 min walk from station but close to a few bus stops.

The hostess was a charming lady who welcomed you and gave advice on how to get to main sites. Comfortable walking Ito Nikko Main Street where there was main local restaurants and craft shops.
