Turtle Inn, in terms of location, is about as perfect as you can get. It is a 10 minute walk max from everything worth seeing in Nikko. The inn itself (and I'm talking about the older building - there is a newer annexe) is no frills. However, it is very comfortable, and very clean. The shared bathroom and toilet facilities... More

My husband and I stayed here while traveling around Japan. We were here in the off season and were the only guests during our stay. There aren't very many rooms and it was very inexpensive for Nikko. The room was Japanese style, with a heater that worked wonderfully to take the chill off, a small table and a tv. Our... More

My son lives in Tokyo but comes to Nikko to visit the sties. He introduced me to the Turtle Inn. As mentioned, the owners are very friendly. Japanese and western rooms available. Two hot baths- the large one is quite nice. Walls are very thin, bathrooms are clean. There was a TV and a heater in the room.Affordable rates by... More

You can't beat this inn for it's location relative to the Shrines and Temples of Nikko. If you want to get a jump on the bus loads of tourists, then definitely stay here. It's a short (10 to 15 minute) walk up hill to reach the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The inn itself is small, well run, and friendly. There... More

The position is a real advantage because it is very close to many places of interest and has some good value eating places close by. It is quite a distance from the JR Nikko with luggage so we opted for a taxi to and from Turtle Inn Nikko. The fare was less than 1000yen each way and it conserved our... More

Totally suits those who prioritize budget, the Japanese room is good, with a TV and heater and considering the price it charges (since Nikko is quite expensive) , this is considered very worth the price. The owner lady is very warm and friendly, speaks good English. The shared toilet is clean and there're 2 hot baths available, i prefer the... More

Stayed there for two nights. The owners speak a bit of English and are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but clean; we opted for Japanese-style rooms which were very nice. Shared bathrooms and small private onsens. Breakfast is available, and dinner is available on Saturday nights only (book 1 day in advance). It's far away from the... More

this sort of hotel didn't make me happy, lucky for us, the UNESCO temples of Nikko did the trick but this hotel didn't felt cozy or clean maybe it were the other guests, drinking cheap bear in the corridor, the dirt on the carpets, the not so friendly staff, the worn out atmosphere, or all those things combined I want...

Pros: Walking distance from the temples, nice onsen, great breakfast. Cons: Little to no sound proofing in rooms and no dinner available even though their website states it is.
