Loved staying here, Yoshiko was so lovely, she went above and beyond to make us comfortable. She gave us fruits and snacks everyday, and even drove us to the train station at the end of our stay. We will definitely stay again when we come back to Nikko!

Our group of three had a wonderful stay at Fu Cottage. Yoshiko’s warm and attentive hospitality truly made our visit special—she went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The location is excellent, with easy walking access to nearby shrines, local eateries, and charming sweet shops. If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese lodging experience, this cottage is a perfect choice. As it’s an older traditional building, we did encounter a few beetles inside, but it was minimal and didn’t detract from our stay. The cottage was well heated and felt cozy throughout our visit. Space-wise, it’s ideal for three adults; a fourth guest would be manageable, though a bit snug. Overall, I highly recommend Fu Cottage—it’s a charming, comfortable, and culturally rich place to stay during your time in Nikko.

One of the best places I've ever been at

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. The house has all commodities (the hosts even offered to help us with the laundry since the washing machine was out of order), all rooms are spotless clean and the surroundings are incredible, albeit a bit far from Nikko station. The host was incredibly kind, making sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. I really cannot recommend this place enough, and when I visit Nikko again, I will not even bother searching for a different stay.

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage. Our Hostess was fantastic and really is what drives the five star review. She went above and beyond from the first moment, ensuring we were picked up at the train station right through being dropped off again after refusing to call a cab and insisting on taking us herself! She also unexpectedly provided fresh bread for breakfast along with fruit and juice boxes. She was extremely easy to reach if we had any questions or issues and was always pleasant to deal with. The cottage is cute, with plenty of space for 2 to 4 people. Although slightly dated in some of its fixtures, everything was clean and futons were comfortable enough to allow us to sleep well. It's location is a little ways out of the main part of Nico but if you're looking for a quiet off the beaten path location, it really can't be beaten.

Staying at Nikko Cottage Fu-Sha was a highlight of our trip to Japan. Yoshiko-san treated us as family members coming home for a visit. She picked us up from the train station, spent the evening chatting in Japanese with my teenager, helped us figure out our transportation to Kyoto, and met us at Nikko station with our luggage when it was time for us to depart.

The cottage is a great place to spend a few days in the beautiful city of Nikko. In addition, the owner is very friendly and offers to pick you up and drive you to the station. In addition, the owner shows you how to plan your stay in Nikko. If you have the chance, you should stay here! 10/10 is not enough!

She picked us up from the train station and dropped us off, and spent time explaining the history, culture, and sights to see in Nikko. The cottage is in the perfect location, quiet, near the Daiya river, and walkable to many shrines and cultural sites. It's also walkable to many delicious local restaurants! We would definitely stay here again, we have a friend in Nikko. Highly recommend!!

Nikko Cottage FU-SHA is a delightful retro authentic Japanese accommodation experience. The very kind, helpful & friendly host picked us up from the train & dropped us back on our departure day. We found the cottage to be in a beautiful location in a residential area, with comfortable traditional Japanese beds, a room for our luggage, fully outfitted kitchen with breakfast foods provided. The bathroom was very large and well equipped. We walked to lovely local eating options of restaurants & cafes and walked to the World Heritage shrines and temples of Nikko, which together with their natural surroundings was an amazing experience. We loved our 2 nights in Nikko, which was not long enough, and will definitely return & would love to stay at the cottage again.

This traditional Japanese cottage was our favorite place to stay in Japan. All of the other places were hotels, and they were nice, but not like the FU-SHA cottage. The owners were deeply interested in making our stay wonderful. They went as far as to pick us up from the train station, (and drop us off at the end of our stay,) so we didn't have to take a bus to the cottage. The cottage was exactly as it was advertised. Very much like one would expect to live in a small Japanese town, with Tatami mats, futon mattresses to sleep on, a traditional Japanese bathroom and bath. This is not a place for glamorous living, but rather, it gives you the genuine feeling of living in a traditional way that the Japanese live. It was comfortable, quaint, charming, clean, and quiet. The owners had delicious snacks, bread, fresh fruit, and others things to eat and drink for us. They set up our beds at night, and were available anytime we needed them. The location of the cottage was very convenient to the shrines and temples in Nikko, as well as a variety of restaurants, shopping, and other points of interest. (Don't miss Kanmangafuchi Abyss. It was spectacular, and only about 5 minutes walk from the cottage.)
