We had a lovely stay at Akari no yado villa! Run by a father and son, whom are both very kind and helpful. He picked us up and dropped us off at the train station without charge and gave us restaurant and sight seeing suggestions. Even helped us choose which bus passes to get for the trip! The rooms are very clean but simple and no frills. 2 single beds and small bathroom. The public onsen is new and beautiful! As is the outdoor garden and dining area. Unfortunately, the kitchen was under maintence - so just double check it is fixed - as we heard they make a great breakfast. Overall, very happy to be in beautiful Nikko and at this friendly villa. Such kind hosts. Felt at home.
