- Aug 7, 2011 Beautiful place along a stunning river with an excellent American host serving a good western style breakfast. We have spent three great days here and have had a very good time indeed. It is an excellent place to stay for those who want to explore the magnificent Nikko World Heritage Area, but also for those who like hiking a lot. Thanks to the free shuttle service offered by the hostel it was very easy to get around. In the Obu-Nikko area there are several beautiful and well indicated hikes, some of them also described in the Lonely Planet Hiking in Japan. In summer there are frequent buses from Nikko that take you straight to the hiking trails. For the less adventurous, the area around the hostel is very pretty as well. Zen hostel is a comfortabel place to stay and it has some unique facilities that we really enjoyed, such as a shower room overlooking the river and high speed wifi connections. And the river itself of course; really nice for swimming or just cooling down. Highly recommended.

An amazing riverside hostel in Nikko, Japan with mostly tatami style futon private rooms. The best of the hostels in Nikko Japan for backpackers. Delicious western breakfast included. Free Shuttle. - From the owner
there are some many hiking trails in Nikko, you need 3 days to see all the beautiful nature. Instead of Ą4,000 a night in the 4 person mixed room, it's Ą3,000 a night if you hike and chill for 3 days.
