Staying at The Ritz-Carlton Nikko

"The Ritz-Carlton Nikko'', founded in 2020, is a fusion of tradition and global brands, standing on the shores of Lake Chuzenji.

All rooms are 57 square meters or larger and overlook the rich nature of Oku-Nikko, including the beautiful Lake Chuzenji or the majestic Mt. Nantai. (Suites are 115 m², The Ritz-Carlton Suites are 277 m²)

One of the captivating features is the introduction of the first-ever hot spring facility in The Ritz-Carlton brand worldwide.

The indoor bath, which takes in plenty of natural light and has only indirect lighting, may feel dim at night, but after a while, you'll start to feel comfortable in the dimness. There is also a fragrant cypress dry sauna for the ultimate relaxing experience.

A special plan just for you to experience sunlight

We have prepared a special plan where you can experience the sacred blessings of the power spot Nikko. Special plans include a special visit to the Shogun's Room of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, which is closed to the general public, and a special viewing of the hanging scroll of the three images of Buddha at Rinnoji Temple's Taiyuin, which is not open to the general public.

There are also plans that allow you to fully enjoy the rich nature in the clear air of Nikko, such as canyoning in the summer, cycling and trekking from spring to autumn, and airboarding in the winter.
