Koduchi no Yado Tsurukamedaikichi

Had a really relaxing stay here - the staff were friendly, the facility was clean, and I loved the traditional feel of this place. I would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable stay. Japanese dinner and breakfast were an experience. Easy walk or bus into Nikko.

Amazing traditional Japanese hotel. Staff was very nice and friendly. Dining experience was amazing with traditional Japanese food! Onsen was very relaxing. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from staff

I arrived to the area with a rental car, and they have an attendant who will come by and guide you to check in and help with luggage as they'll move your car and keep the keys afterwards. Check in was easy, with a minor mixup as they brought me to another room confusing me with another foreigner who would be checking in same day but corrected it quickly. Booked with a half board, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious for both days with nicely presented locally sourced ingredients. Thankfully meals did vary each day, and were still great for the rate I booked. Was located directly in front of the Nikko national park and temples which was great and convenient to reach. The public onsen was pretty nice, but you have to bring the towels from your own room, and it did provide basic grooming amenities. Only complaint was the outdoor bath was not nearly as hot as the one inside which I suppose is excusable given the cold temperature outside. Room was classic Ryokan style with tatami mats. Tv was old, and only offered the local television channels with no option for other streaming services, unless you brought a laptop with HDMI. Otherwise a great stay if you want to see the local Nikko area. Right across from the river so you can hear it well and it's amazing with a great view of the stars in most rooms I think.

Charming ryokan. Onsen on top floor has separate bathing for men and women, lovely way to begin and end the day. The rooms come with half board, so a very special dinner and breakfast filled with Japanese delicacies. Location is convenient, it’s about a 15 minute walk from the tobu Nikko station but you can take the number 1 bus that leaves you a block or so away. Quite convenient to the attractions. Lovely mountainous view with brook from the window.

We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The room and facilities are a bit tired but the views, service and onsen were flawless. Dinner and breakfast were very generous and we enjoyed them, though if you’re not into traditional Japanese flavours, you might struggle.

The staff and service were excellent, the rooms were spacious and lovely, we loved our private balcony bath, and dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Highly recommend staying here.

Hotel experience was awesome. Located near the world heritage site and you can walk through them in a loop in less than 3 hours. Hotel provides a shuttle from the JR station (need to reserve in advance). We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel (excellent food). They take you to your individual dining room and served the set meals that way. Didn't like how checkout was at 10am. Wish it was at 11am and it would've made the logistic much easier

Very nice but some rigid policies

Traditional ryokan with half board - stayed on tatami mats so had a trully traditional Experience. Staff very friendly and well Located for tourist sights

Stunning ryokan. We stayed for one night, and had kaiseki traditional meals for dinner and for breakfast, which we loved! The view from the windows of the nearby river and mountains is absolutely breathtaking. Sleeping on a futon on the floor took some getting used to, but it's part of the Ryokan experience! We also enjoyed the private hot spring bath in our room. Very close walk to the start of Tosho-gu shrine, which you definitely can't miss.

Coming back another visit

This property was lovely. We stayed in two balcony rooms with private balcony baths and it was brilliant to sit in the bath and watch the river go by. The food (we had dinner and breakfast) was great, particularly the dinner. All the hotel staff were attentive and polite, helping us with anything we needed. Close walk to the nearby shrine and temple complex.

Booked a private onsen for 2-nights and it was worth every penny. One of the main reasons I booked this hotel was because it was located right next to the river. My husband and I enjoyed the private onsen. It was the perfect temperature for the both of us. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The location was great. It was minutes away from the famous bridge and the bus stop was less than a minute away from the hotel. The room was big, and I was super comfortable with their futons. Breakfast and dinner is traditional Japanese-style so it may not be feasible to most people, but I enjoyed every bite!

The staff are incredibly nice and their cooking is EXCELLENT! You have to enjoy their breakfast and dinners!!

Stayed at this ryokan for 2 nights with the half board both days. The property is definitely feeling its age, but it certainly does not lack any charm. The room was plenty spacious and was provided with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The open air onsen that faces the river was so serene and peaceful, it was truly a special experience. The service level is outstanding and they take every effort to make guests feel valued and special. The food was artfully prepared and delicious. The hotel is perfectly located close to the amazing temples and shrines, as well as a short walk from the town. I recommend this hotel for anyone wanting a real ryokan experience.

Very friendly staff and can speak english with the staff as well. The onsen is good as well. The dinner and breakfast is great.

It was awesome.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we'll not hesitate to book again. The staff were helpful and very welcoming. The hotel is very well located and we had a magnificent view from our bedroom of the mountain stream and forest.
