Hostels σε Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

Very good hostel, better than in the pictures. We had a room for 4 people with private toilet, only the shower to share. The onsen is very clean and contains two pools inside and outside. Two washing machines and two dryers are available with additional payment. Kitchen is big and clean. The hotel is far from the main activity of Nikko (Nikkō Tōshō-gū and a hike with waterfalls). The train system even if you take Nikko pass in Tokyo is not perfect because it requires to take additional tickets for an express train, because it is not included in the pass.

Except for the excellent location (nearest to Tobu-Nikko Station and the buses stops to various locations and places of interest, the hotel is badly in need of upgrades for it's rooms, facilities and amenities. The room I stayed in is big (compared to most hotel rooms in Japan) but the toilet seat cover keeps falling down while using it. Plenty of cobwebs at corners , especially along the corridor. The bathroom taps is like a 'makeshift' upgrade shared by basin and bathtub. See photo. Good thing is that I can see upgrading and renovation taking place but seems like it has been going on for a very long time already.

There is a parking lot for free parking, and there is also a paid three-dimensional parking lot on the side (parking coupons can be given to the store counter to pass the card, free parking) Rigui Hot Spring, there is a towel, the hot spring pool is divided into indoor and outdoor, there is also a steam room, oven, well-equipped, the environment is very clean, the staff attitude is very good, recommended!

Cleanliness, facilities and amenities are good, but there are few 々 dissatisfaction with sound and temperature management. Is it a special point that you can't eat and drink in the room? I stopped at the public bath in the neighborhood but I was very satisfied there. It was a goldfish hot water.
