Reviews of K's House Nikko - Kinugawa Onsen Hostel

Welcoming staff, super onsen outdoor, amazing kitchen

I enjoyed hot springs as their area is renovated and cleaned

The cleaning ladies foreigners stuff were shouting all the time or speaking loud and this would round all the atmosphere.

The hostel it’s amazing, really quiet and clean. Perfect for relax

Maybe the location it’s no to good if you want to see the attractions around Nikko, but at the same time it’s perfect to be in the middle of the nature

Very nice personnel who helped me even though I arrived later than planned. The onsen was amazing and everything was very clean.

Great value for money stay in Nikko. Helpful staff on arrival, have us suggestions for somewhere to eat on our first night in Japan. The dorm beds were comfortable, and we had space for both of us to lock things away. Main highlight is the use of the on site onsens, which had outdoor for both male and female. We wish we had stayed longer!

No complaints at all.

The outdoor bath is great, first floor lounge and kitchen are spacious and modern. This place is great if you want to relax and do nothing, which is what I came here to do.

1. Bed is extremely uncomfortable for me. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and I was the only one there so ended up having the room all to myself. The mattress is sagging and offers no support. I had a hard time falling asleep because of it. 2. Female staff in short blond hair had a bad attitude when I was checking in. No greetings and made no eye contact while talking. The two male staff I encountered seemed way nicer. 3. Safety concern: the key I was given apparently opens doors to other rooms as well. When I brought that up to the staff they did not seem surprised at all. 4. Location: 15 mins walk from Tobu world square station. The commute feels long because you’re walking on the side of a road with lots of traffic and nothing else. There is not much to do in the area. The closest convenience store is 15 mins walk away. In short, this would be a good place to stay one night if you want to enjoy the indoor & outdoor onsen and chill in the lounge at the hostel. But definitely not a good base if you want to explore the temples/ waterfalls/ hiking trails in Nikko. I had stayed 2 nights near Tobu Nikko station before coming here, which I’m so glad I did. At the Tobu Nikko train station tourist office you can buy discounted bus passes, I recommend the Yumoto Onsen route, you can take as many bus rides as you want to within 2 days and the route covers 3 waterfalls (Yudaki, ryuzu, Kegon), all the temples, and plenty of hiking trails.

Everything! It was so great!

Onsen & service

No curtains

The place located greenery area beside the river. Inside onsen is unique point of this accommodation. The onsen separate men and women. There were indoor and outdoor of living room. Kitchen always keeps clean here. Washing machine and dryer was provided inside the place. This accommodation concerns environment . The lady staff demonstrated information clearly with her friendly mind. I would like to say thank for her assistance. The place was clean and comfortable. You can walk for 7 mins to the rope bridge where cross over the beautiful river, waterfall and view point of Kinugawa. From Nikko, you can take local train with 1 changing station but during train journey is very amazing view beside the railway.

so the location is good, also the sanitary is new and kinda clean. the onsen was the best for sure i must say.

we need to make our own bed and put the sheets which i really dislike. sadly we shared our room with one of the employees who got mad in the morning because we packed up and wanted to check out. it was 10:00 AM already. he was rude towards us and told us to "get the fuck out". i understand he was maybe tired and it was a rough night for all of us because some thai dude was snoring all the night long super loudy (sadly no earplugs provided) and another guy was screaming in his sleep in the morning waking us all up.. but still if you work there, you gotta control your emotions and maybe the hostel should provide private rooms for their staff so they can get the sleep they need.

The common room was amazing. It was big, the kitchen was great, so multiple people can cook at the same time. It had a terrace, and in general, the whole place was very nice and big. I like the rooms, I met great people there and the onsen outside was just wonderful experience.

the Bath was good

the room toilet didn't work
