Top Sainoko Lake Hotel Reviews

Koduchi no Yado Tsurukamedaikichi

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel by the river bank with great views. Excellent half board."

Nikko Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a classic hotel but the annex building is fully renovated and beautiful. The room was comfortable with nice amenities. It was so calm and peaceful. I loved the tea set they provided and enjoyed the room overlooking the garden outside. Had very comfortable beds. Staff was nice and welcoming. Breakfast was nice too. The only downside was lack of dinner options in the area. We did a room service one night and had their famous curry… which was alright but expensive. We also had a meal at Meiji no Yakata nearby which was great. I think most restaurants were closed for dinner on weekdays though. There was a really good yuba place for lunch closed to the hotel."

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"This is a terrific basic hotel with very clean and stylish Western-style rooms (albeit with the small Japanese beds) and public spaces at reasonable rates. Would definitely stay here again. It is a bit out of the way from central Nikko (up a hill from the train stations, and a bit too far on rural roads to be truly walkable), but cabs are cheap and the hotel runs a free shuttle to the stations in the morning and late afternoon. Also there is no restaurant on-site. However, there’s free tea/coffee/miso soup in the lobby, basic food items for sale at the front desk, and a good breakfast truck (with Western breakfast items and coffee) comes by from 7-10 am."

Hatcho No Yu

10/10 Excellent

"If your goal is to get as remote as possible, this is the place for you. It’s an adventure to get to, but when you get there, the remote location provides a tranquility that is second to none. Wonderful experience."

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to lake, waterfall, and national park. Relaxing and serene atmosphere."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"The condo unit was clean and beautiful, including the bath with hot spring water and sauna! Highly recommended!"

Nikko Senhime Monogatari

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved this hotel. It was so beautiful, the onsen a bar and everything about it. The staff was amazing. I would definitely stay here again! Just know if you get dinner out go early and make sure you realize a lot of the great restaurants are off the main road!"

Chuzenji Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with a great location!"

Ashionoyado Kajika

10/10 Excellent
