What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Rooms are modern both in design and in function, though they also contain timeless comforts like private hot-spring baths.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set beside the Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park, the hotel sits a short walk from Nikko's historic Toshogu and Futarasan shrines.
The rooms
Every suite features an indoor or semi-open hot spring bath fed by thermal waters, heated flooring, and views of surrounding cedar trees.
The onsen
Soak slowly.
Communal indoor and open-air rotenburo baths draw from the on-site Tamozawa alkaline spring, looking directly into dense cedar woods.
At the table
Private dining alcoves and counter seats sit behind intricate kumiko woodwork, looking out onto floodlit gardens and forest greenery.
