"VERY COZY" Cottage FU-SHA in Nikko
We opened FU-SHA in September, 2007. We wanted to show people from all over the World the beauty, both natural and man made that Nikko offers. We have an operating license. This private Japanese style cottage has a small sitting room, a small kitchen, a large modern bathroom and can sleep up to 5 people. The rooms are Japanese style rooms with tatami mats and divided by fusuma(sliding doors). Japanese futons are laid on the tatami mats and they are very comfortable to sleep on. There are a microwave oven, a toaster, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, an electric pot and tableware in the kitchen. The bathroom has a big bathtub and a shower. In addition, there is an amazing Japanese high-tech toilet. The cottage has a high speed internet( wireless). My ancestors came to Nikko approximately 130 years ago and we have been living here ever since. Therefor we have all the information on Nikko you would like to know and we are happy to share that with you. The nearest bus stop, Nishi-sando(No 9), is 7 minutes walk from the cottage. There are 3 car-rental company in front of Tobu Nikko station. How to travel between Tokyo and Nikko. By Tobu railway; We recommend you buy the ALL NIKKO PASS.
