The lodge was too far away from the town for us and not close to anything other than bush. It is about a 1.5km walk into Nikko which is OK in the daylight but I would not want to do it at night. The walk from the station to the lodge is uphill so with 2 cases and a bag... more

I reserved 2 nights at the Nikko Park Lodge following other review here on tripadvisor. Let me say that Mr. Ken the monk is not what you can expect. The lodge is _not_ cheaper at all compared with all the other hotel/ryokan I booked on my last two trip in Japan. You will have to pay, IN ADVANCE, for everything,... more

We mostly stayed in cheap ryokans, so we were used to renting towels and TV in the common room. But for us this was definitely a step up in accommodations. We had a double bed and private bath, with the best heat on our entire trip. The room was small but cozy and lovely, and the common room was nice.... more

We weren't really sure what to expect when we arrived and found that this was a glorified hostel, but were pleasantly surprised. It was an easy drive and parking was available. The rooms were small but comfy although the beds were very hard. It was nice to have a private bath and shower in the room. Do bring your own... more

This place is pretty good. The owner is AWESOME! He took me and my friends over to this great mountain top. He's really nice and makes your stay absolutely complete. The area Nikko itself seems to only attract the older crowd..but it's a great break from the busy Tokyo town. And they have a few Hot Springs in the area..... more

Positives: -Cozy living room area -Free tea, food you can take and pay for later -Ride to and from train station but only at certain times -Helpful and friendly receptionist Negatives: -The map is vague, incomplete, and nearly impossible to follow at night -We were charged $4990 yen/person although the their website says $3990 yen/person more

I stayed in the Nikko Park Lodge for two nights as a single traveller. The lodge itself was very welcoming, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the interior and layout of the lodge was very welcoming and relaxing. My room was great I had a private double room, which had its own bathroom. The room itself was very... more

We stayed at the Nikko Park Lodge from April 23-25. We would definitely go back. The only thing I would recommend to them is that they make it more clear on their website that towels are not supplied. I knew this from reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. Of course, it is a hostel, even if it has private rooms... more

My husband and I spent a night at the Nikko Park Lodge on the 15th November 2007. Out of all the places we stayed during our fourteen day trip, this was the best. Our room was small but cosy, had heating, electric blanket, TV and en suite. Very comfortable all up, the owner Ken is fantastic, as soon as we... more
