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.

Hotel Sunshine Kinugawa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful traditional hotel, the property is a little dated but overall still beautiful and clean, would stay again!"

Nikko Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a classic hotel but the annex building is fully renovated and beautiful. The room was comfortable with nice amenities. It was so calm and peaceful. I loved the tea set they provided and enjoyed the room overlooking the garden outside. Had very comfortable beds. Staff was nice and welcoming. Breakfast was nice too. The only downside was lack of dinner options in the area. We did a room service one night and had their famous curry… which was alright but expensive. We also had a meal at Meiji no Yakata nearby which was great. I think most restaurants were closed for dinner on weekdays though. There was a really good yuba place for lunch closed to the hotel."

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"This is a terrific basic hotel with very clean and stylish Western-style rooms (albeit with the small Japanese beds) and public spaces at reasonable rates. Would definitely stay here again. It is a bit out of the way from central Nikko (up a hill from the train stations, and a bit too far on rural roads to be truly walkable), but cabs are cheap and the hotel runs a free shuttle to the stations in the morning and late afternoon. Also there is no restaurant on-site. However, there’s free tea/coffee/miso soup in the lobby, basic food items for sale at the front desk, and a good breakfast truck (with Western breakfast items and coffee) comes by from 7-10 am."

Kinugawa Onsen Hotel

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately this property did not meet expectations and was grossly overpriced. The Japanese style room was very dated but a nice size. Good AC. The food was great and there were a lot of options. The property needed to be cleaned and updated. The area outside of the property is shocking. It is filled with abandoned buildings that are various states of disrepair. It felt unsafe. Transportation wasn’t great. I booked the bus- which is said to be an amenity- only to learn we had to pay getting off. Good thing I had cash. People were nice but I’d never go back."
