Hotel The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

Luxurious stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko, is where reality checks in and stress checks out. The staff probably know more about hospitality than I do about my own family tree. Enjoy views of Nantai Mountain and Chuzenji Lake. They say the views are breathtaking—I say bring a paper bag just in case. The 24-hour front desk thrives on coffee and smiles, while the hot spring baths promise to melt away the toughest of worries. And if you're a foodie, the dining options will keep you guessing. Japanese or Western, they cater to all taste buds, even if you're just a toast-and-butter kind of person.

Rooms here are like a warm hug. They've got air conditioning, flat-screen satellite TV, and views that make your phone's battery cry. The spa and wellness center has a sauna and hot tub – ideal for when you want to do nothing but soak like a teabag. If you're feeling adventurous, Kegon Falls and Chuzenji Lake are nearby. Perfect for those who think nature is best enjoyed with a splash of adventure and a dash of wonder.
