The hotel is old but historic. The rooms were ample and very comfortable. The staff was super nice and went out of our way to help us feel welcome. The location is perfect, very close to the temples and at a 5 minute taxi ride from the train station. Also walkable in half an hour or less. Breakfast was very good. I would have stayed one night longer to be honest.

Property itself has has an amazing garden with access to river and some great mossed areas. Also situated on the gateway to the heritage areas. Huge room with intriguing heating, steam-punk stuff. Views from room of mountain ranges absolutely intriguing. Furniture bit worn but otherwise clean. Hotel building fascinating to explore. Staff very helpful and courteous.

This may be my all time favorite of all the hotels I’ve stayed at! It’s maybe not for everyone but it oozes history and it felt like stepping back in time. The staff is really wonderful and were amazing. The beds super comfortable and the room had an amazing view of the river and mountains. If you’re a nostalgist like me you won’t be disappointed.

This was our first visit to Nikko to visit family. Nikko Kanaya was a good choice. It is a 150 year old hotel, modernized in every way necessary. The rooms are comfortable and spacious and the hotel was very busy during our weekend stay. People tend to dress up at this hotel and it is a bit formal. American style breakfast was included in our stay but the menu was limited to bacon, sausage, ham and eggs, juice and coffee or tea and a small salad. Not bad, but not great. Service was very attentive. All in all the hotel is a very good place to stay, but also very old school.

This is an old and tired hotel. It is next to the main shrines in Nikko, so location is great, but the buses in Nikko are so good that you would be better staying further into town at a cheaper hotel. There are not many places to eat nearby, so we ate in the hotel 1 night. It was very expensive for a french style menu which was largely underwhelming, especially the main courses which were very small. They also messed up our room and instead of giving us a genuine triple, we got a twin with a sofa bed - not a problem for sleeping arrangements, but on Expedia it was £50 cheaper per night and after negotiating with the front desk we received £25pn discount. Whilst the hotel was generally OK, I would not recommend this hotel.
