"Lovely property and a very relaxing environment. Rooms well appointed and the restaurant for dinner was delicious. The site had a very nice shop for practical items, as well as gifts. Location is right on the lake and near the local attractions. Room and package description could have been clearer, as well as more clarity on check-in time restrictions. Despite trying to contact the property well in advance of my stay - I only heard back from them on the day of arrival. Better communication...

Top Sainoko Lake Hotel Reviews

Koduchi no Yado Tsurukamedaikichi

10/10 Excellent

"English speaking staff. Excellent Kaiseki dinner and breakfasts. Room has a nice river view and quiet . Hotel location is walking distance to all main sights and near Bus stop. Onzen open till midnight. Highly recommended."

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

Nikko Senhime Monogatari

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice with friendly helpful staff"

Okunikko Hotel Shikisai

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic experience at Hotel Shikisai. The staff were extremely courteous and attentive, the food was excellent (we got the "basic" coursed meal and it was divine!) and the setting is gorgeous and peaceful. Hotel Shikisai has a cozy lived-in feel, but don't take this to mean it is well-worn or undesirable AT ALL. It has a sentimental charm. Picture your favorite old forest lodge (for me it brings up the many WPA lodges in National Parks and National Forests in the States). We had the private onsen, and it was definitely worth any extra cost to pour a private epsom bath while gazing out at the forest on a rainy afternoon. Also, they keep you "hydrated" with free coffee, tea and happy hour booze on the daily!"

Nikko Hoshinoyado

8/10 Good

"The food is very good and well presented. However in-room amenities are minimal, same for the onsen (men) - no cotton ear-buds - and the hand towels do not smell clean."

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to lake, waterfall, and national park. Relaxing and serene atmosphere."

Chuzenji Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with a great location!"
