Dining

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.

Why We Love This Hotel

Location: The Ritz-Carlton Nikko, set on the shores of Lake Chuzenji and in the shadow of Mount Nantai, is all about natural beauty through a luxury lens.

Hot Springs: Ritz-Carlton Nikko is the only Ritz-Carlton branded onsen in the world, drawing waters for its hot spring facilities directly from Nikko Yumoto Onsen, which has been an established hot spring destination for over 1,200 years.

Dining: The property's four dining and drinking venues aim to elevate fresh, locally-sourced Tochigi ingredients by incorporating regional flavors into Japanese dishes, Western plates, the signature Ritz-Carlton afternoon tea, as well as original cocktails.
