Welcoming staff, super onsen outdoor, amazing kitchen

Stayed in August 2025

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

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

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

No complaints at all.

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!

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.

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.

Kitchen and onsen

Note that the place is quite far from Nkko's attractions, and if you don't have a car you need 2 trains to get there.

Great place to stay. Very friendly staff. Great common kitchen for use 24 hours with very comfortable sitting area.

It's like a 10ish minute walk from one of the two closest stations a little out of the way without a car but doable walking.

Very large communal living room, nice indoor and outdoor onsens, large kitchen, pretty good value housing. Nice hikes nearby, ryoukai trails and a fair bit distance to lake chuzenji, senjougahara. great place to come back to after a long day

The hostel is located a bit further away from the main town but if you don't mind 10-15 walks in the beautiful scenery this is your place.

Beautiful Onsen and common area area. Staff were very friendly and helpful with a lot of information about the local and surrounding activties and attractions. Pretty good value for money and all the basic amenities you could need. There is an excellent Izakaya 4 mins walk which was recommended to us and we thought it wonderful. A great overall place to stay. Scenery was delightful.

Very nice room and the onsen was perfect

The location is not that convenient for seeing sites in Nikko. Kinugawa Onsen town itself doesn’t have loads going on, although the canyon walk is great.

The most amazing hostel kitchen I’ve ever seen, and the most relaxing and large living room. We had a great time cooking and relaxing here for all 4 nights of our stay. The staff are lovely and the beds are comfy. On top of all this, they have their own Onsen (indoor and outdoor bath). Would defo stay here again!

Loved the open air onsen, and the staff were so friendly. Great chill place to stay

The only thing was that the onsen wasn't open in the morning, I would have loved to take a rest there before checking out!

We stayed in a bunked bed single room. The onsen, especially the outside one, is fantastic. The room was clean, and offered a terrasse to the outside, ideal in the morning. The lounge/shared space is very spacious and the balcony offers a great view of the outskirts of the hostel.

I have nothing bad to say.

K's house hostels have been exceptionally incredible through my travels in Japan. This one being the best I've had the pleasure of staying in. The cleanliness is equivalent to some of the fanciest hotels out there, I can't overstate how comfy the common areas and rooms are. The onsen is great, although not very large. I picked the cheapest room option, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a massive room with wall sized view right into the forest, comfortable bunk beds with excellent ventilation.
