Our stay at Guesthouse Koundo was excellent. It’s a beautiful home located, in our opinion, in the best spot in Nikko as it is easy to walk to the popular areas as well as catch the bus to go up to the mountain. There are also wonderful neighborhood restaurants to try within walking distance. It’s in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by beautiful nature. We were kindly allowed to leave our bags early, which was a great help because we had a lot of luggage. The home is kept in pristine condition, and the bathroom setup is very convenient for multiple travelers as the toilet, shower/tub, and sink are all separate. There’s a lovely room lined with tatami mats that’s great for sitting, and the bedroom is separate with 2 beds. The shower/tub room is stocked with plenty of towels which are regularly refreshed. We had a great time and would love to come back.

Notre hôte était fort aimable et respectueux. Un verre de bienvenue. Il a accepté de garder nos valises le lendemain matin avant notre départ, pour que nous puissions visiter un temple. La literie est parfaite et les pieces sont très propres. A disposition brosse à dents, dentifrice, gel douche .. Restaurants, supérette, le temple Toshogu Shrine, le pont sacré Shinkyo et autres lieux touristiques très proches. La gare est à environ 25 minutes à pied tranquillement. Merci beaucoup à notre hôte pour son hospitalité.

Super Séjour. L’hôte est vraiment adorable et prévenant. La maison est superbe. Il ne fait pas très chaud attention au frileux. Mais la beauté du lieu et la gentillesse de l’hôte font oublier cela! Merci encore

Parenthese enchantée a Nikko

Un excellent sejour passé a Nikko ! L'hote a ete tres disponible pour le check in et nous a donné de tres bonnes adresses pour manger a proximite le soir. On dispose de tout l'etage, la maison est superbe et nous plonge completement dans l'esprit japonais ... elegance et propreté ! La maison est tres bien situé, a proximité des temples sans etre dans le quartier de la grande avenue passante, et dispose de pas mal d'options a proximite pour les petits dejeuners, les repas ou meme un commerce ouvert 24h/24 Je recommande chaleureusement, ce fut un tres beau sejour !

很典雅的日本房子，搭公車步行下坡路段抵達，房間，衛浴洗手間分開都在2樓，微波爐在1樓。 日本樓梯較窄，提醒如有多件大行李可以合併，僅搬運需要使用的行李。check in/out當天圴可先寄存，很方便。
