Experience of the stay
I fully enjoyed my trip to Nikko! This time, the hotel was perfect for exploring Nikko. It's just a 10-minute drive from the historically rich main street near Toshogu Shrine. Access to the area packed with Nikko's gourmet food and sightseeing spots is also excellent!
Upon entering my room, I was greeted by the expansive mountains and beautiful nature outside the window. Lying on the sofa and gazing blankly at the scenery brought me indescribable happiness. The tea provided in the room was also delicious, contributing to a relaxing flow of time.
And then, the lounge! Here, you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee and tea made from ground beans freely. There's nothing like sipping a cup of coffee in the lounge as the sunlight streams in… it is the best moment. You can also access the terrace, which is great for relaxation while taking in the fresh air outside.
Moreover, next to the lounge, there’s a small shop where you can find local gourmet food and sweets. I tried the lemon milk and ice cream made from local milk that I had been curious about, and they were delicious! I savored the distinct tastes of Nikko, making for a satisfying stay for both my heart and stomach.
Experiences during the trip
For dinner, we headed to a highly-rated Chinese restaurant called 'Tokai-so.' We found this place on Google Maps, run by a Chinese couple, and felt a warm atmosphere the moment we entered. We ordered seafood fried rice with a thick sauce, dumplings, xiaolongbao, dried tofu salad, and fried chicken! Each dish was authentic, truly exquisite on its own rather than just casual Chinese food. (It's not highbrow at all!)
Although adjusted for Japanese tastes, you can still feel the authentic flavors. The restaurant is small, with only 3 to 4 seats, so it might be wise to call ahead before going.
The next day, we enjoyed a walking tour of the main street in Nikko! Sampling various treats like pudding, yuba sushi, and pastries, we leisurely strolled while enjoying the refreshing autumn weather. The standout was the 'Extreme Fresh Pudding' from 'Nikko Pudding Tei.' A raw egg yolk sits right atop the pudding, which you mix in to enjoy! It was so rich—I might say it's the best pudding I've ever had!
If you're driving, there's convenient parking available around the main street for about 500 yen for 24 hours.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
