This is a wonderful hostel set it a beautiful location. Great for couples, groups or solo travellers! Plenty of spots to swim in the river and a lovely outdoor area to chill out with a fridge stocked with beers. A short drive from the temples, shrines, hikes and waterfalls of Nikko, Scout does daily trips to ferry people around. He really does go above and beyond, cooking breakfast and dinner and even set the BBQ up for us one night! We’ll definitely be back
