Nikko Inn

Nikko Inn is traditional, Japanese style accommodation located in a farm village. Nikko Inn would like to help Japanese people rediscover Japan and foreigners experience Japanese culture.

Our guest rooms are former houses built 60 years ago and fully restored. They were designed in "Shyoin-zukuri" style. "Shyoin-zukuri" is not only a traditional Japanese style, but also very popular style until not long ago. It is a style for residents and composed of "Tokono-ma" (space built into the wall), "Engawa" (Japanese porch), "Tatami" (Japanese flooring), and some fixtures such as "Fusuma" and "Shyouji" (Japanese sliding doors made of paper).

This style was invented in medieval times. We restored the 3 buildings based on our research of "Shyoin-zukuri". Through staying at our cottage, we would like you to experience the beauty of a traditional Japanese house, which has almost disappeared from Japanese culture in modern times.

Nikko Inn's aim and challenge

Our aim is to provide our guests a traditional Japanese life-style that suites the modern age. We want our guests to enjoy their stay and feel comfortable, so we choose equipment very carefully, and make sure the rooms are kept very clean.

Also, in the guest rooms, we have placed high-tech toilets, wireless internet and a superb built in speaker system (which you can use with your portable audio player). We welcome all foreign guests especially who are interested in Japan and Japanese culture.

We try to give any information in English, but unfortunately our staff are not yet able to speak English well. We would like to react with our best effort to any guest who can not speak Japanese, but please understand that at times communication may be difficult. We are trying hard for better intercultural communication.
