“Great experience and value for money.”

Good location, great services and helpful staff.

“A traditional hotel in a beautiful setting.”

The hotel is a traditional building, which reflects its history through many photographs on display. It is in a superb positional, making it walkable to important Shrines and Temples. There is a bus stop, very close to the hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

“Brilliant and interesting”

Location near national park, big room, awesome japanese breakfast, lovely staff, historical

“Comfortable, interesting and convenient.”

Loved the historic feel of the property and the original features that have been retained yet the bedroom and bathroom was up to date and very comfortable. The location of the hotel is also perfect, only a short walk to the UNESCO world heritage site with all the shrines and temples.

Beautiful old hotel, exceptionally helpful and friendly staff, and a lovely atmospheric bar area as well, the restaurant looked nice but we did not eat here. It is right next to the world heritage area for Shinkyo Bridge, Tosho Gu and the other shrines and just a short walk down into the town and up to Tamozawa Imperial Villa and other restaurants. We stayed in the annex and the views were beautiful. Special mention to the delicious coffee in the room too 👍

“Iconic hotel with history”

An iconic historic hotel at a very central location close to the Shinkyo Bridge and World Heritage Site

Wonderful stay at Nikko Kanaya! We loved everything

“Wonderful time trip.”

We stayed two nights in one of the older rooms in the original building and although the bathroom and furniture is dated, the room was clean, very spacious and light. We liked that the window could open and had a mosquito net in it. Our reservation included breakfast and dinner and we loved the delicious food and impeccable service and table setting. The hotel has so much atmosphere and is in such great location and the staff is very attentive and welcoming. We would like to come back.

Perfect location in a very picturesque area, beautiful walking path. Comfortable and spacious room. Classy dinner and breakfast with silver cutlery and porcelain, served in the " imperial" style

“Nice location and hospitality; maybe not the most comfortable for families.”

Very hospitable and convenient location to world heritage sites

It's classic elegance and refined style was a return to a different era.

“A great stay at this historical hotel!”

Location was great. We had a corner room in the Annex and the views on both sides were awesome! The room was quite big that can actually accommodate 4 persons. I also love the all-white bathroom!.. Just had a goosebumps and felt so privileged when the staff who escorted us to the room mentioned that Helen Keller stayed on the same room.. Worth mentioning is the Afternoon Tea, a bit pricey but was excellent. Staff were polite and speak English well..

“Beautiful old hotel with interesting history”

The beauty of an old hotel.

“Beautiful hotel in beautiful location”

Great location right next to the old bridge and Nikko World Heritage Shrine, we upgraded to the newly renovated annex and the beds and pillows were like sleeping in a cloud, the best ever. The breakfast was excellent, this is a great place to stay.

nice heritage hotel

“High classical hotel that is worthy to stay enough”

I had a half board room price and the quality for dinner was unexpectedly nice with high classical western style. It is more than experience.

“Wonderful place to stay in Nikko”

Extremely comfortable, great location

Historic buildings and location

“Stunning. Fantastic staff.”

Traditional breakfast was fantastic, gorgeous view and delicious and beautiful food.

We were on a family trip to Japan and had booked a room at the Nikko Kanaya Hotel intrigued by its history. On arrival we inquired about mo7ntain views and were advised to choose a room in the annexe building with mountain views, which was slightly more expensive than the rooms we had originally booked. The Annexe is the building to the right of the main Hotel building and the extra cost was absolutely worth it. The Annexe rooms have been refurbished to a very high standard and the twin room we had was very spacious with a lovely bathroom and a small sitting area in front of the large window. We were also allocated a room on the 3rd floor. This meant that we had the most wonderful view up the valley towards the mountains and the centrepiece of Mount Nantai. The Hotel itself is about a mile from the station and a reasonable walk or short bus ride from Tobu Nikko station. There are also Hotel shuttle buses although we didn't use these. The Hotel is very close to Nikko's world heritage site of shrines and temples. We also bought a 2-day bus pass, which was discounted for Hotel residents and travelled to Lake Chuzenji and beyond exploring the many recommended sites as we travelled up the valley.
