Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

This is a terrific basic hotel with very clean and stylish Western-style rooms (albeit with the small Japanese beds) and public spaces at reasonable rates. Would definitely stay here again. It is a bit out of the way from central Nikko (up a hill from the train stations, and a bit too far on rural roads to be truly walkable), but cabs are cheap and the hotel runs a free shuttle to the stations in the morning and late afternoon. Also there is no restaurant on-site. However, there’s free tea/coffee/miso soup in the lobby, basic food items for sale at the front desk, and a good breakfast truck (with Western breakfast items and coffee) comes by from 7-10 am.

Very nice hotel - room was superb, well located, but not too busy. Since the hotel has no restaurant, either come with a car, or eat before arriving on the shuttle.

I was somewhat upset when I first arrived at the hotel as I discovered how inconveniently located that it was. There are very few public buses and the hotel shuttle only operated from the Tobu Nikko station to the hotel very infrequently. I had to cab to the hotel and take another cab to get out to the town to eat, This costs approximately 1300-1500 yen, and about a 7 min drive, which is NOT walkable! There is no restaurant on site and hence there is no breakfast option. However there is a food truck in the mornings and the hotel sells items that can be heated using the toaster oven or microwave there. Apart from this, the room was large, very nice and clean: the bed was very comfortable. After spending one night there and reconciling myself to the inconvenience of the location, I appreciated the serenity of the place. Other hotels that are nearer to town are less likely to be as modern and as long as you are willing to pay for cabs, or plan ahead in the use of the shuttle, the hotel is great!

I really like the atmosphere, very quiet and peaceful. The place was so clean and neat. Staffs were friendly, they gave us towels when we arrived because it was raining. We will definitely book it again.

You will not be disappointed

The staff and the property were wonderful! Beautiful rooms and environment! The free shuttle from the train station was helpful. Amenities were nice, with coffee & latte machine. Would recommend both Nikko and the hotel!

Very clean room and friendly staff.

Very nice and clean property. It is perfect except for maybe the location. Nikko in general is more spread out and harder to navigate. This property really felt out of the way of basically everything. That being said, as long as you don't mind taking a few taxis and strategically use their complimentary shuttle times, then it really is a nice place to stay.

I loved how close it was to everything. At night, it looked kind of magical from the outside. The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again if I visit Nikko.

Nice room, lovely and helpful staff, booked Onsen and restaurant for us.

Fairfield is nestled in a tranquil and charming yet convenient location. We love the convenience and availability of free onsite parking. The staff were very helpful in providing dining recommendations and also helping us to register for Marriott membership. With 1 hour late check out, we were able to slow down and enjoy the morning with an amazing breakfast from a pop up truck. The common and well stocked dining area also facilitated social interaction and I got to know a few friends from Italy and New Zealand. My family really enjoyed our stay at Fairfield and of course this amazing place Nikko, full of surprises and awesome nature.

We enjoyed our stay, everything was up to our expectations.

Rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable.

This is a modern hotel. The beds were much softer than we have previously found in Japan. The hotel is some distance from the train/bus station and shops and restaurants. But a 1000 Yen taxi from the train station got us there OK. The hotel has a small shop selling food (soups, pizza etc) and drinks (Inc beer and wine). While we were there, there was a breakfast cart outside from which we purchased a nice breakfast one morning. Staff were always friendly and helpful.

This hotel was perfect! Beautiful and comfortable rooms, had everything we needed. Staff were really lovely. Great location for exploring Nikko if you have a car.

Thoughtfulness of the staff. Rooms were spacious and very clean and well maintained.

Lovely staff, ample parking and a spacious, clean room. The room layout is a little strange with the sink being in the bedroom with a screen divider and there seems to be more attention to style than practicalities i.e. no hooks, shelves, drawers etc. However, we had a great stay and good nights' sleep.

Great stay, although a ways from town and cab fares varied every time. Spacious room for Japan. Enjoyed the shared kitchen facilities with coffee machine.

Staff was very helpful. The facilities were very clean and comfortabl!

An excellent hotel. The front desk staff are very polite, and the room design is comfortable and well thought out. The bedding is of high quality—especially the silky-smooth sheets, which you can tell are not your average standard. There’s also a large dining table next to the lobby for guests to enjoy drinks, thoughtfully equipped with tableware, paper plates, a small oven, and a microwave. Although it’s a bit of a distance from the city center, it’s best to drive if possible.
