Zen Hostel: Your Home Base in Nikko

The Kurogawa River from the
2nd floor sunroom of the Zen Hostel.

The common room, where breakfast is served, the days
are  planned, and the river sound flows through it all.

Planning a trip to Nikko? Have I got the place to stay for you. Situated on the banks of the beautiful Kurogawa River in the middle of the woods, the Zen Hostel’s environment alone will make calling it a day yet another thing to look forward to. For between ¥4,000-¥5,000/person per night one can stay in completely authentic and very comfortable Japanese style tatami rooms; if you’re lucky enough to book into one of the outdoor riverside annexes then you’ll get to enjoy the sound of the Kurogawa singing you to sleep every night. Included in the price of your stay is a free shuttle to the World Heritage Sites in Nikko, and to and from JR Fubasami Station or Tobu Shimogoshiro Station at the start of your stay or when you’ve returned from adventuring. Also included in the price is a delicious pancake, french toast or omelet breakfast (gotta stay 3-days or more for those awesome omelets) prepared by Zen’s highly knowledgeable and accommodating owner,  Scout, anytime you need or want it between 5 and 11am. Full coffee, tea and juice bar included. Homemade pizzas loaded with vegetables, and other ingredients from the local farmers market, are also available in the evening. ¥1000 for some of, if not the best pizza I’ve eaten in Japan is a bargain. Additional services? The owner, Scout, went far out of his way to make sure that my group’s stay was excellent. He lent us his grill and kitchen utensils and collected wood for us so that we could have a BBQ in the outdoor lounge on our second night, and his accurate advice provided for some awesome adventuring. And of course there’s the usual Internet equipped computer and wi-fi that we’ve come to expect in this day and age. An “A+” or five stars is not enough to properly rate my experience. Go and appreciate it for yourself. Happy travels!

Kyoya, Nagoya's Most Comfortable Cheap Ryokan

The Kyoya Ryokan in Nagoya, Habashita

The dormitory (Ume-shitsu) at Kyoya Ryokan.

Need a cheap place to stay in Nagoya? I’ve got you covered. The Kyoya Ryokan is a modern Japanese style inn located in Habashita about a 10-15 minute walk from Nagoya Station. The Marunouchi Subway Station, the Sakae Shopping district and Nagoya Castle are all within 15 minutes walk of the Kyoya. The facilities include free wifi, high speed internet equipped computers in the common area and in every room, a pleasant Japanese style garden and bath (open from 5pm-8am), ¥100 coin lockers (and a locker for your own use included in the price of your accommodation), and clean supremely comfortable rooms. One night in the dormitory? Just ¥2,500 per person. It’s so nice I’ve stayed there every time I’ve stayed in Nagoya. The owner, Hiroshi Sato, is a super friendly and informative man. He will make you feel welcome and see to it that you know where to go and how to get there. He will also cook you a traditional Japanese breakfast or dinner, ¥1,000 and ¥1,600 respectively, if you order a day in advance. I only spoke with Hiroshi in Japanese so I don’t know about his English ability. You might need Japanese to make reservations with and get direction from him. To get to Kyoya exit Nagoya Station’s Sakura Dori Exit and walk north along the main road until you hit the elevated freeway. Turn left and follow the freeway to the next major road. There will be another freeway meeting the first one in a T. Cross the main road and then turn right, go three blocks (the small Japanese blocks) and then turn left. Kyoya will be on your left hand side and is recognizable by the small garden, white sign and (unless the owner got a new car) a red Jaguar sedan out front. If you can find a place as comfortable and well placed as Kyoya for less money, I wanna hear about it. Happy Travels!
