Nikko Park Lodge

I had a lovely stay here while I was in Nikko! Ken San is really welcoming and nice! There was no bed bugs while I stayed there (which I read from some of the reviews). And also the food is good here! Wish all the best for this beautiful place!

The location is beautiful with an onzen in the house and the owners very sweet. However we saw bedbugs in the beds of the dormitory and are covered in bites now leaving. at least the two beds which we stayed in had them. Watch out before lying down and check carefully.

It was a nice hostel and the staff was nice, however the last day we saw several bedbugs in our beds. We are now totally covered in bites..

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 We stayed at Nikko Park Lodge and really enjoyed our time here! 🌲 It’s about a 20-minute walk from the train station, but honestly, the walk itself was so scenic and peaceful — we loved it! 🍂 The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, and there’s great food and an onsen nearby. The dorm room was simple and cozy — we did spot a few bugs, but no bed bugs 👍. They mentioned heated blankets, though we couldn’t find them 🤔. The beds were a little firm but still comfy (pretty standard for Japan 🇯🇵). The shower area is also an onsen ♨️, which was really cool — though the water temperature changed a lot between days (super hot one day, chilly the next 🥵🥶). The walls had a bit of mold, but it’s understandable given all the steam from the onsen. They offer free drinks and coffee ☕️, which is a nice touch — though there weren’t any cups when we tried to grab some 😅. Overall, Nikko was absolutely beautiful, and this lodge was a great choice for exploring the area. 🌸 Despite a few small issues, the charm of the location and the atmosphere made it a really good experience. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something peaceful and scenic! 🌿

Suspected bed bugs. I got bitten all over my body after just one night. Definitely not recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 About a 20-min scenic walk 🌲 from the station—beautiful area with great food and an onsen nearby ♨️. Dorms had a few bugs (no bed bugs 👍) and we couldn’t find the heated blankets. Onsen water went from super hot to very cold 🥵🥶, and the walls were a bit moldy from steam. Free coffee ☕️ but no cups 😅. Beds slightly hard but comfy. Despite quirks, lovely stay in a gorgeous Nikko setting! 🍂🌸

Bed bugs were in the beds and have multiple bites. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.
