Hotels near Kirifuri Highlands, Nikko

Small quiet hotel, with very good bed. Slept well and had a nice stay. Possible to order breakfast but you have to order it at least 2 days before check in - breakfast what was served was very good Japanese style. Free coffee and tea.

We loved the cozy place at Gableview. We had a delicious dinner, a lovely and very clean room and a great Onsen bath. Furthermore the hosts were incredible. Thank you for giving us a great time

I selected this place because I read other reviews about the eclectic unique nature of the hotel and atmosphere. I wasn’t disappointed, in fact it exceeded my expectations in every way. The moment you arrive and are greeted warmly by the staff and handed a free drink of your choice, sets the tone for a wonderful experience ahead. The room was huge, warm, comfortable and very special in its minute details of architecture. We chose a river view room and I would highly recommend doing so as the massive picture window overlooks the forest and mountains and is simply breathtaking in the morning sunrise. This hotel was designed with careful thought given to every detail in its creation, with the mindset of creating a restful respite from the modern busy world we live in today. It has achieved this goal in my opinion and then some. We had the honour and pleasure of meeting the architect the second day we stayed and had a conversation with him about his wonderful hotel, he is such a joy to speak with. The food was also an absolute delight, huge filling and varied items at breakfast, and sumptuous selections and pairings at dinner. The staff are The best of anywhere we have stayed so far in Japan, and are gracious and smiling all the time. We speak very limited Japanese but this was never a problem so don’t worry about this as a barrier for coming here. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and I was sorry I had to leave. This hotel, and Nikko is such a special beautiful place everyone should see it once if they can. Thank you shelter garden and staff for allowing me to have such a warm, restful and wonderful stay at your gorgeous hotel, and thank you so much for all your warmth and hospitality.

Very comfortable home in a tranquil suburb of Nikko. Lots of space, fully equipped kitchen. The bunk beds gave the place a touch of nostalgia from our youth hostel days. Private parking. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Communication via mail was excellent. Nothing left to wish for.

Hotel & facilities were superb from the breakfast & dinner buffets through to the indoor / outdoor rooftop spa. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Free drinks, including alcohol, soft drinks, coffee, ice creams & snacks was also a very nice touch.

We absolutely loved everything! The house combines traditional Japanese style with modern features. It's situated in a quiet area, just a few minutes walk from Shinkyo Bridge and several other attractions. The host provided us with a detailed map of nearby sights, along with personal recommendations.
