Ryokan Nikko Tokanso
321-1431 Tochigi, Nikko, Sannai 2335 , Japan – Great location - show map
The Tokens Hotel is a gem in Nikko. An irreproachable service, very kind and very professional staff, they have all kinds of attention towards customers. The breakfast as well as dinner are really delicious moments and so tasty and well prepared. We will come back for sure.
FranceBreakfast was excellent, as was dinner. Staff were very friendly and the location is excellent for walking around the temple area of Nikko. The shared onsen is also very pretty, with a small outside area.
AustraliaThe food was pretty good. I enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. Friendly staff. One staff member drove me to the train station at the end of my stay because it was snowing. This was outside the shuttle bus times. Another staff member gave me kairo ("pocket warmers") each morning to keep warm.
AustraliaThe onsen is delightful, the meals are amazing and super fancy, the staff is so cute and accommodating, the location is ideal.
United States of AmericaThe traditional Japanese style breakfast and dinner were excellent. The presentation was so beautiful with many different colors and plates. Onsen traditional bath very relaxing. The location was within walking distance of the historic temples and other sites. Fall foliage around the ryokan and town was magnificent.
United States of AmericaEverything was perfect, the staff very lovely and the tatami was comfortable
MexicoThe onsen was great, the traditional Japanese atmosphere was excellent, the food was very good, and the location was excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful. They knew just enough English to allow us to communicate necessary hotel information.
United States of AmericaStaff are great, they even served us a dinner although we arrived late.
ThailandThe room looked very nice and traditional, with view of lush trees from the window. It was spacious enough for all our luggages even with the futons laid out. There was tea and delicious little local pastries in the room when we arrived. We could fill our water bottles from the taps just outside our room. There was an attached WC and a separate wash basin in the large room. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent, especially for dinner. There was an outdoor onsen, which looks more inviting than the indoor onsen. Shampoo, soap and lotion are provided in the onsen area. The hotel provides shuttle service from Nikko train station. We asked the tourist info centre to help us call them. There was also scheduled shuttle service to the station. Coffee is provided in the lobby area in the morning. Most of the staff didn't speak English but they are polite and helpful.
SingaporeVery traditional japanese hotel. If you like to try ryogan, this is a good one. The public bath is nice. What we like the most is the location. Walkable to main attractions.

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
