[Nikko] How to stay at the Ritz-Carlton Nikko

The only Ritz-Carlton in Japan with a hot spring is located in Nikko. It's perfect for a hotel stay and a little sightseeing. You can enjoy the view of Lake Chuzenji, taste delicious food, and take a dip in the hot springs. It's the perfect relaxing trip. You can also walk to Kegon Falls in 10 minutes. There are two restaurants in the hotel. The Western-style restaurant "Lake House" and the Japanese-style restaurant "Japanese Cuisine BY The Ritz-Carlton Nikko" were both delicious. You can have breakfast in the Japanese restaurant or in your room, so I chose to have it in my room. By the way, you can choose between Japanese and Western-style breakfast, but the Japanese menu also comes with a bread set.

The seats are spacious and relaxing. Asakusa ➖ Tobu Nikko (7 stations in total, 1 hour 51 minutes)The fare is about 2853 yen one way, and you need to purchase in advance. When you arrive at Tobu Nikko Station, there is a Tobu bus in front of the station. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Oku-Nikko by using the Tobu bus bound for Chuzenji Onsen. There is also a taxi from Tobu Nikko Station. 6,000 to 7,000 yen. Due to COVID-19, there doesn't seem to be any shuttle service from the hotel at the moment. #AccommodationReview#WinterTrip#HotSpring#Nikko#NikkoTrip#TochigiTrip
