Nikko Cottage FU-SHA

Amazing care. We had so much help. Picked us up and dropped off at the station. Took Is to where we wanted to visit. Kept our luggage and provided us with breakfast. Simple but very comfortable accommodation with good access to everything we wanted to do. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed my stay at FU SHA Nikko Cottage. The host, Yoshiko, was friendly and very helpful. Yoshiko picked me up from the train station when I arrived in Nikko and dropped me off at the station when I departed. She provided me with maps and useful information on hiking in Nikko National Park. The cottage is small, comfortable and located a short walk from Toshogu temple, Rinnoji temple, and Futarasan shrine. Yoshiko provided bread, jam, fruit, yogurt, coffee, tea, and juice every morning for breakfast. The cottage is simple, comfortable, and I definitely recommend staying here as it’s good value for money.

Even though we were only at the house for one night, it was a very lovely stay. Nikko is gorgeous and the house allowed us to feel truly immersed in the culture. It’s relatively close to historical sites and Yoshiko was so kind to us. We had some delays and were rushed to reach the temple, but she drove us to ensure we had as much time as we could get. Would definitely stay again!

Host was amazing and went above and beyond. We were very thankful and felt very welcome. Beautiful location.

Our group of three had a wonderful stay at Fu Cottage. Yoshiko’s warm and attentive hospitality truly made our visit special—she went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The location is excellent, with easy walking access to nearby shrines, local eateries, and charming sweet shops. If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese lodging experience, this cottage is a perfect choice. As it’s an older traditional building, we did encounter a few beetles inside, but it was minimal and didn’t detract from our stay. The cottage was well heated and felt cozy throughout our visit. Space-wise, it’s ideal for three adults; a fourth guest would be manageable, though a bit snug. Overall, I highly recommend Fu Cottage—it’s a charming, comfortable, and culturally rich place to stay during your time in Nikko.

The Cottage provides an opportunity to live like a local. Yoshiko goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. She met us and took our luggage to her place so we could sight see for the day and brought us back to the station when we left. She offered very helpful advice for our itinerary and gave us insight on what life is like in Japan today.

Fantastic accommodation. She gave us a ride to the bus station and even met us in town to drop off our umbrellas we accidentally left at the cottage. Definitely would recommend and would absolutely stay again if we ever come back to Nikko

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage. Our Hostess was fantastic and really is what drives the five star review. She went above and beyond from the first moment, ensuring we were picked up at the train station right through being dropped off again after refusing to call a cab and insisting on taking us herself! She also unexpectedly provided fresh bread for breakfast along with fruit and juice boxes. She was extremely easy to reach if we had any questions or issues and was always pleasant to deal with. The cottage is cute, with plenty of space for 2 to 4 people. Although slightly dated in some of its fixtures, everything was clean and futons were comfortable enough to allow us to sleep well. It's location is a little ways out of the main part of Nico but if you're looking for a quiet off the beaten path location, it really can't be beaten.

Very friendly and helpful owner, making sure we are comfortable staying there. Even thoughtfully prepared some breakfast items for us.

Loved staying here, Yoshiko was so lovely, she went above and beyond to make us comfortable. She gave us fruits and snacks everyday, and even drove us to the train station at the end of our stay. We will definitely stay again when we come back to Nikko!

Had an amazing time in Nikko and the Cottage had everything we could possibly need. The host, Yoshiko was absolutely devine and incredibly helpful. We were at odds how to get to our next destination and she planned the complete route for us and even assisted us when we were buying our tickets to make sure we got to where we needed to be. I wish we had stayed a few extra days, that’s how at home we felt! 100/10 recommend.

This traditional Japanese cottage was our favorite place to stay in Japan. All of the other places were hotels, and they were nice, but not like the FU-SHA cottage. The owners were deeply interested in making our stay wonderful. They went as far as to pick us up from the train station, (and drop us off at the end of our stay,) so we didn't have to take a bus to the cottage. The cottage was exactly as it was advertised. Very much like one would expect to live in a small Japanese town, with Tatami mats, futon mattresses to sleep on, a traditional Japanese bathroom and bath. This is not a place for glamorous living, but rather, it gives you the genuine feeling of living in a traditional way that the Japanese live. It was comfortable, quaint, charming, clean, and quiet. The owners had delicious snacks, bread, fresh fruit, and others things to eat and drink for us. They set up our beds at night, and were available anytime we needed them. The location of the cottage was very convenient to the shrines and temples in Nikko, as well as a variety of restaurants, shopping, and other points of interest. (Don't miss Kanmangafuchi Abyss. It was spectacular, and only about 5 minutes walk from the cottage.)

Lovely hostess very helpful and kind. Located near the Nikko Abyss a must see. A little off the beaten path in a very neighborhood. A traditional property with tatami mats and a great deep bathtub. Highly recommended. Mahalo for your kindness and care. Also not to be missed Nikko Coffee best Royal White tea ever.

The host Yoshiko was very friendly and generous, and the cottage was lovely!

Amazing place. Highly recommend

Nikko Cottage FU-SHA is a delightful retro authentic Japanese accommodation experience. The very kind, helpful & friendly host picked us up from the train & dropped us back on our departure day. We found the cottage to be in a beautiful location in a residential area, with comfortable traditional Japanese beds, a room for our luggage, fully outfitted kitchen with breakfast foods provided. The bathroom was very large and well equipped. We walked to lovely local eating options of restaurants & cafes and walked to the World Heritage shrines and temples of Nikko, which together with their natural surroundings was an amazing experience. We loved our 2 nights in Nikko, which was not long enough, and will definitely return & would love to stay at the cottage again.

Warm and cozy in winter. Easy access to beautiful Onsens, temples, shrines, hiking and Edp Wonderland. The owner was so welcoming and helpful.
