I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Nikko recently and honestly, it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had.

Room was great. Clean, full of quality amenities, comfortable bed, cool tech. Nice bath, free drinks in fridge, and tooth brushes, bathroom kits available in bathroom.

Nikko is a great place to go especially for the scenery and to get away from the busy city congestion. You should spend a minimum of 2 days but 4 days or more would be more appropriate and less rushed.. Would go again.

5/5 - Excellent

Nikko is absolutely beautiful, the highlight of our holiday

5/5 - Excellent

There was much less hustle and bustle, even though there were still plenty of people around. A lovely spot for nature and culture lovers.

5/5 - Excellent

Beautiful part of the country, we went there to see the horseback archery and the parade of the 1000 Samurai, was a great experience, we also saw the Toshogu Shrine, and the Imperial Villa and gardens.
