森のうた Morinouta Forest Stay in Nikko

The host is probably the friendliest person I’ve ever met, she made me the cutest packed lunch every single day during my stay without even asking! The onsen is just incredible, the room is massive. You can really tell they want to go above and beyond. I even saw some reviews saying the road is loud (which I didn’t think it was) and she supplied you with eye masks and ear plugs just for that reason.

You really do have to time the bus time exactly as it’s a long walk to town.

Fantastic experience, which feels like home!! Private onsen. My room is huge! The onwers are super friendly. The lady gave me bottle water and snacks when I went out for the day. The breakfast and dinner are amazing!

Super clean and amicable hosts. Not far from main streets and tourist attractions like temples and shrines. Very quiet and pleasant travel destination.

Friendly staff, making your stay feel like home. Very big room. Nice onsen.

It is a bit outdated, but value for money for sure. Outside of the town, but very easy to reach by all the busses that go the same route in Nikko.

\Our host suprised us with a care package for breakfast each morning - a pastry, bottle of water and a banana - so thoughtful!

we liked everything

Breakfast was amazing. Clean hotel and very good onsen.

Nothing

The kindest people you have ever met. Bar none. The baths were divine.

The hosts are friendly and go out of their way to help and to make sure you are having a pleasant stay. They got us umbrellas on a rainy day, a map of the historic trails around town and the most amazing breakfast. We spent 3 nights and chose Japanese breakfast for all days; you can also choose western breakfast if you wish so. The room was spotless and comfortable, and the sunroom is ideal for a restful time with tea. There are two onsens on the property and we enjoyed soaking after a long day hike. The location is perfect, not too close to the touristic town and next to the bus stop (14), it is so easy to catch the bus to the city and to the mountain and lake too. We had a perfect stay.
