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.

Rakuten STAY VILLA Kinugawa Riverside
"Beautiful places a lot of spaces great amenities"
Koduchi no Yado Tsurukamedaikichi
"Loved the location, the river view and onsen, coffee in the morning, friendly staff and room. Would highly recommend."
Rakuten STAY VILLA Nikko
"The hot spring bath was excellent; however, it was inconvenient that there was no hook to hold the shower head, and it was disappointing that there was an ammonia-like odor in the bathroom. The sleeping spaces other than the main bedroom were not very functional. On the other hand, the kitchen appliances and tableware were all new and in good condition."
Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko
"Great hotel! Beautiful view from the room! It is a bit of a walk from Nikko which can be lovely after eating way too much food for dinner. Taxis are fairly inexpensive back-and-forth. When I stayed, there was a food truck that showed up for breakfast and dinner options, this was fantastic! The quality of the food was really high. I didn’t try any of the food from the little store that they have on site, but the pizza did smell good. The laundry machines were always busy, so that’s something to be aware of. I would definitely stay again."
Nikko Station Hotel Classic
"Perfect convenience to Station and bus to Toshu-gu. Nice, spacious rooms, excellent breakfast and fine indoor/outdoor hot spring options."
Nikko Kanaya Hotel
"Short and nice stay. Enjoyed the dinner on site and direct access to unesco site. Team at restaurant and reception doing their best to support you travel plan and fully enjoy the stay. Thank you!"
