Nikko Senhime Monogatari

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Senhime Monogatari. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They provided wonderful service and advice regarding our activities in Nikkō. We chose a traditional Japanese room and loved the space and view of the mountainside and stream. It was very peaceful. We slept well on the futons and relaxed in the yukatas provided by the hotel. The location is fantastic as it’s an easy walk to the shrines. We took advantage of the Nikko pass to take the bus to Kegon Falls and the lake area. Very easy to do. Bus stop is a two minute walk from the hotel. The hotel shuttle to/from the train station is a plus, as well. If you are looking for a place to stay in Nikko, I’d definitely recommend this hotel.

Friendly staff with shuttle services to Nikko station for both Tobu and JR. A 10- minute ride to the hotel. Onsen has both indoors and outdoors. 5 minutes walk to bus stops for sightseeing and to the underground pass to Toshogu temple. We couldn't make it due to stairs and a lot of walking afterwards with elderly people. We booked 2 rooms with private bathrooms overseeing the river. One has two single beds, and a Japanese futon for 2 people. The other one has two single beds with a private Onsen. We also booked for breakfast and dinner at the hotel for convenience. Both were Japanese kaiseki meals.

Wonderful traditional style Japanese room. Great spa with indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. It was served in the traditional Japanese style. The food was amazing and not what we found in many of the Japanese restaurants. Also had in-room massages which were very relaxing. The Hotel is a short walk to the temple, complex sites and the 70 Buddhas along the river.

We enjoyed our stay at this traditional Japanese inn. We were looking for a place with tatami rooms and futons to sleep on and we found it here. The view from the room of the river and hills was very nice. The traditional Japanese bathroom with tub and sit down shower were exactly what we were looking for. The onsite onsen was just what we wanted as well. We were happy there was a convenience store very close nearby!

The service was incredible. The room was big in Japanese standards.
