Okunikko Konishi Hotel
This large hotel offers a combination of Japanese and Western style guest rooms, with many rooms featuring beds as well as tatami mats. Tatami are made of rush straw and are woven into uniform sizes. Although the mats are laid on the floor and are used as a measurement tool to indicate the size of a room, they have traditionally been used as a bed or as a dining table surface. Guest room amenities include a towel, toiletries, toothbrush, safety razor, hair dryer, a refrigerator and a television. You will also be provided with a Yukata, a Japanese robe and slippers. Dine at the cafe terrace or try Japanese style Kaiseki cuisine featuring fresh sashimi, crispy tempura, hot pot, soba and Japanese noodles. Relax over drinks in the hotel bar or pamper yourself with a hot spring bath.

Nikko Senhime-monogatari Inn
The Inn is named after the story of princess Sen. Her life was difficult but the princess' grandfather, Ieyasu Tokugawa, restored balance to the country after chaos. As a result, he was enshrined as a god in the Toshogu Shrine in Nikko. The tale of the princess and her grandfather is just one of the many Nikko stories in Nikko that have been told through the generations. Most of the stories are associated with history, seasons and nature, including legends about Toshogu and the Kegon waterfall. The Inn takes pride in offering a beautiful, dreamlike setting for you to create your own memorable tales. The relaxing guest rooms, wide public bath and open-air bath invoke a tranquil atmosphere. The restaurant cuisine is changed monthly to incorporate the freshest ingredients and you may choose to have either a western or Japanese style breakfast. The Inn also features a coffee lounge and a karaoke room.
