タートル・イン日光 (Turtle Inn Nikko)

The owners are nice people, they speak english and japanese. But everything in the Ryokan is written in English so I think this is a popular place just with international tourists. Therefore when i visited in December 2020 I was the only person staying there. They offer a fruit breakfast for 1100¥. They have a little onsen inside the ryokan. It is located near the river so you sleep with the river sounds which was nice. The downsides for me was that it does get cold at night (probably just in winters) and also the toilets are located outside the room, it is a shared restroom. They gave me a room that isnt close to the toilet so I had to leave the warmth of my room and walk the hall in the middle of the night few times. If I stayed here again I would def ask for a room closer to the restrooms... They are close to the temples and shrines in Nikko, but 40 min walk away from the main stations and a lot of the food places. The other parts of Nikko are 2 hour away with a bus, so if you plan a trip to Nikko consider staying here for a night and moving onto the other parts of Nikko - I think +2 nights in Turtle Inn Nikko is a bit too long unless you have a car or a very packed itenerary.

Came in the off-season (early December) so we were probably the only guests there at the time. We had a great experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the natural hot baths were relaxing, and it was a short walk to the bus stops for sightseeing as well as a short walk away from many historical landmarks. 100% would recommend!

For the relatively low price, this local inn was very comfortable and very welcoming. Located at the foot of the valley, it's cool and you can leave the window open instead of A/C through the night and listen to the bubbling river outside

Old but well maintained. Room was clean and you get all the stuff you need. Private onsen is available, but I didn’t feel it was very clean. I saw a lamp of hair on the floor and tiles had some mild. The staffs were nice and helpful. Over all it’s recommended.

Good location, clean rooms with air con and ensuite. Lovely breakfast.
