Nikko (Lake Chuzenji), Tochigi, Japan | hotel

Lakeside luxury in Nikko National Park with volcanic hot springs and views of Kegon Falls.

About this stay

The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko is set on the shores of Lake Chuzenji, a volcanic crater lake encircled by the ancient forests and mountains of Nikko National Park. The hotel's design references the natural beauty and spiritual heritage of the region — home to the UNESCO World Heritage Toshogu Shrine. Rooms face either the lake or the dramatic Kegon Falls, and the onsen spa uses Nikko Yumoto's milky sulfur springs. Autumn brings one of Japan's most spectacular koyo displays to the surrounding maple and beech forests.
