Fantastic 5.0
Nikko Station Hotel II, an excellent location right next to the station. The rooms are clean and comfortable, compact but complete. The service is friendly and courteous, great value for money, highly recommended for visiting Nikko!
Service: Some small items need to be requested from the front desk.
Cleanliness: Very clean
Breakfast: Simple meals

Great 4.0
The check-in process was highly unsatisfactory. We strongly advise against making reservations through Klook. We believe we should have received a pass code and room number, but no such information was provided. The room itself, however, was excellent, clean, and its facilities were in good condition.

Nice boutique hotel. Very friendly and cute staff. As they are not well versed in English, they use body language to communicate with us which make us understand what messages they are trying to convey. Room booking by default comes with bf which is good as I do not see any eateries nearby except a train station. Breakfast has limited variety and as I stayed only for 1 night so I am ok with that. You may also take your pick at the amenities at the lobby if what is in the room is not enough for your usage. Room wise is clean and comes with adequate amenities and has a bathtub too. Room size is just right for us as we only have 1 small luggage in the room. No issues on check in and check out as it is fuss free. Surprisingly, they do sell local Nikko food products inside the hotel which is convenient for the lot of us except the prices are slightly more expensive than outside. Other than that, it is a good place to stay and chill from the cold weather outside at 3 degrees. Thumbs up!

it’s near the station, the tourist bus stops and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. They let us check in early without additional payment.

We had a blast, thank you Ko. He was awesome and very proactive in getting everyone together and making sure everyone was on the bus. We took a tour to Nikko and it was amazing. The weather was cold but nice. Recommend taking a trip with Ko and our bus driver was very nice too. Beautiful historical places.

The Nikko tour was well worth it for a day trip from Tokyo, with scenic views and a very rustic mountain vibe. Our guide, Ko, was knowledgeable and explained the history and culture of Japan and the sites we visited in a very succinct and informative manner. He was very accommodative to my last minute schedule changes where I had to leave the tour early and helped greatly in navigating all the sites to maximise my time and enjoyment.

Prior to the trip, our tour leader, Mizki (Xiao Bo), confirmed the itinerary details via messaging apps and email. On the day of the trip, due to heavy rain, we couldn't ride the cable car, so we made a last-minute change to the Kegon Falls elevator to make up for this minor disappointment. Along the way, Mizki provided detailed explanations of the historical background and features of the attractions in both Chinese and English. Since the tour didn't include meals, she also recommended good local snacks to the group, making sure everyone had something to eat and drink to avoid getting hungry during the long drive. Our driver, Mr. Wang, was very kind and courteous, and his driving skills were excellent. As someone who has only traveled independently for over twenty years, this was my first time participating in a group day tour. Overall, it was a great travel experience, and I would consider this type of tour again in the future.
