Learn more about Nikko
Ancient temples hide among misty forests where carved dragons seem ready to spring to life at any moment. Tokugawa Ieyasu's magnificent mausoleum at Nikkō Tōshō-gū shrine dazzles with gold leaf and intricate details that craftsmen spent decades perfecting. The Japanese saying goes "Never say 'magnificent' until you've seen Nikkō" – and they're not exaggerating. After temple-hopping, soak weary muscles in steaming onsen with mountain views that change dramatically with the seasons. Sample delicate yuba (tofu skin) at traditional ryokans where hospitality remains unchanged for centuries. For family fun, Edo Wonderland recreates feudal Japan with samurai performances and ninja demonstrations. In winter, nearby ski resorts offer powder without Tokyo crowds.

Nikko Station Hotel Classic
"The hotel was a perfdct location, very comfortable and clean."
Hotel Sunshine Kinugawa
"Beautiful traditional hotel, the property is a little dated but overall still beautiful and clean, would stay again!"
Nikko Kanaya Hotel
"It is a classic hotel but the annex building is fully renovated and beautiful. The room was comfortable with nice amenities. It was so calm and peaceful. I loved the tea set they provided and enjoyed the room overlooking the garden outside. Had very comfortable beds. Staff was nice and welcoming. Breakfast was nice too. The only downside was lack of dinner options in the area. We did a room service one night and had their famous curry… which was alright but expensive. We also had a meal at Meiji no Yakata nearby which was great. I think most restaurants were closed for dinner on weekdays though. There was a really good yuba place for lunch closed to the hotel."

"Walking distance to lake, waterfall, and national park. Relaxing and serene atmosphere."
