Tucked between Nikko National Park's Lake Chuzenji and Mount Nantai, the Ritz-Carlton Nikko is a tranquil hot spring resort immersed in nature, comprised of 94 spacious guest rooms and suites that showcase the impressive landscape. There's also an elevator that takes guests to a lower observation platform. Interiors are contemporary, yet feature traditional Japanese elements, such as engawas (porches), genkan (foyers where guests remove shoes before entering a room), onsen facilities, stone bathrooms with soaking bathtubs, Kanuma-kumiko design, yukata robes, and more. Hotel facilities include a wellness area inspired by the region's onsen heritage, consisting of both indoor and outdoor baths, a spa offering holistic treatments and serene spaces, as well as a 24-hour fitness center. For dining, guests can choose from The Japanese Restaurant, Lakehouse, The Bar, and The Lobby Lounge. The Ritz-Carlton Nikko is a 30-minute drive from Tobu-Nikko Train Station and a three-hour drive from Tokyo's Narita International Airport.
