Turtle Inn Nikko

Very friendly staff. They give you recommendations on nearby restaurants and which places to visit at what times. Nice and relatively big rooms. Very clean. Fly screens in front of the windows, no problem with insects. Two private onsen that can be locked from the inside. Breakfast has to be booked and payed seperately and is more European style but with local ingredients. Delicious nonetheless.

The host is very friendly and provided plenty of suggestions for nearby attractions. They were also very thoughtful in sharing dinner recommendations in the area. The accommodation is conveniently located close to Toshogu Shrine and other attractions, all within walking distance. Of course, the room is very clean and comfortable, and you can even enjoy a bath. The accommodation has many adorable collections inside!

Honestly we had the best time at this turtle inn. Loved the traditional room, and the amenities were always perfectly clean. Great location for exploring the quieter parts of Nikko. Great friendly staff. Don’t come expecting luxury (as this is an inn), but you will have an enjoyable experience. Also the onsen is amazing. Did not try the food as there are many food options nearby.

Me and my husband stayed together here while on Intrepid tour. Very happy to experience traditional Japanese ryokan. Private onsen was wonderful, especially after a big day out walking. Plus in the room there are traditional yukata you can wear to the onsen. There are nearby restaurant options if you want, or there is a communal fridge, freezer and microwave. With a supermarket 5 minutes walk. Very lovely place

Stayed here as part of my tour with Intrepid Travel. Cute place with a nice private onsen (nice introduction to the Japanese onsen culture btw). Beds on tatami mats were comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. Great location just a couple hundred yards from the Kanmangafuchi Abyss. Decent breakfast. On the downside, I've never heard louder toilets. They sounded like a jet engine. My roommate and I agreed not to flush if we used the facility overnight.

Friendly staff who speak good English. Nice breakfast of fruit, boiled egg and toast for 1500Yen. Appreciated the Mashiko pottery it was served on.|Clean and quiet. Enjoyed the private onsens (2).|Perfect location for temples, shrines, convenience store and restaurants.

Absolutely lovely staff. Really kind and sweet. The place has an excellent location: in walking distance from all sights in the middle of the good stuff. (10min from temples, 10min from bridge and still 10min from the amazing + quiet little hike to the gorge, with few tourists there). Rooms are simple and the place is a bit older, but at a great price. We booked last minute and other hotels were 50-100% more expensive. Each room has their own sink, there’s more than enough toilets + also extra separate sinks. Breakfast was very tasty (fruit, drinks, juice, and 3 thick slices of buttered toast and jam). Highlight: the two private onsen, available to use without added costs from 15-23h and 5.30-9.30am. I worried we might have to wait in line, but they were available almost all the time. Simply switch the sign to ‘occupied’ and it’s all yours. The owner was adorable.

Great stay in total. Clean rooms and great staff. The shared bath is actually two mini onsens. So, very nice if you like japanses style baths. The location is great as well. Especially since its close to one of 2 convenience stores in the area, close to the Temples and its right next to the river.
