Oldest Western-style resort classic hotel in Japan, I'd recommend making a reservation to have your meals at this hotel
Reviewed By Cyber0515日本最古の西洋式リゾートクラシックホテル。イザベラ・バード、アルベルト・アインシュタイン、ヘレン・ケラーを始め、世界各国の名立たる要人が滞在した。建物自体も登録有形文化財及び近代化産業遺産に認定されている。 これまで何度も増改築を繰り返しているもの、建てられた当時の面影を出来る限り残しているため、いくつかの設備に古さを感じるが、それもまたこのホテルの味わいの一つと言える。それでも、部屋を始めロビーやレストランは常に清潔に保たれており、宿泊中は快適に過ごすことが出来る。1階にはこれまで宿泊した著名人のサインや写真が掲載されているコーナーもあり、非常に小規模ながら歴史館としての側面を持つ。 別館にはエレベーターが無いが、本館にはエレベーターがあるため、車椅子等の障碍を持つ方は本館・新館で問題なく宿泊できる。 このホテルの宿泊は、可能であれば朝食・夕食込みでの予約をお勧めしたい。このホテル周辺にもカフェや食堂がいくつかあるが、夜間に開いているところはほんの数軒に過ぎない。そのため、夕食のためそれらの食堂に訪れる人で混雑し、場合によっては長時間待たされる可能性がある。加えて周辺にコンビニが無く、近くのコンビニでも10分程歩く必要がある。夜食等はあらかじめ購入してからホテルにチェックインすることをお勧めする。 ホテルの立地上やや考慮すべき点があるが、それでも日光の豊かな自然に囲まれたホテルでの滞在は、極上のひと時を堪能することが出来るだろう。 This is the oldest Western-style resort classic hotel in Japan. Famous dignitaries from around the world, including Isabella Bird, Albert Einstein, and Helen Keller, have stayed here. The building itself is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property and a Heritage of Industrial Modernization. Although the hotel has been expanded and remodeled many times over the years, it has retained as much as possible of the original appearance of the building, so some of the facilities feel old. However, this is one of the charms of this hotel. On the first floor, there is a corner with autographs and photos of famous people who have stayed at the hotel in the past, and although it is very small, it has the aspect of a historical museum. The annex does not have an elevator, but the main building does, so people with disabilities such as wheelchairs can stay in the main building and the new building without any problems. I would recommend booking a room at this hotel, including breakfast and dinner if possible. There are several cafes and restaurants around the hotel, but only a few of them are open at night. Therefore, you may have to wait for a long time in some cases due to the crowds of people visiting these restaurants for dinner. In addition, there are no convenience stores in the area, and even the nearest one requires a 10-minute walk. It's recommended that you buy your snacks in advance before checking into the hotel if you need. The location of the hotel is a bit of a consideration, but even so, a stay at a hotel surrounded by the rich nature of Nikko will be a wonderful experience.

Reviewed By Karen-Karen-HLove love love this hotel. Set on the secluded area of Chuzenji Lake this hotel has the friendliest staff and excellent restaurant.

Convenient hotel with a lot to offer
Reviewed By I7414FEjohnhStayed two nights in November. Quiet due to pandemic restrictions on tourists but the hotel more than met my expectations. Two minutes from one rail station, JR, six minutes walk from the other, Tobu, and across the street from the local buses, this place is superbly located. Great breakfast buffet, small bar and separate onsen for men and women. Comfortable room. What more could you want for the price?

Full refund due to COVID-19 despite normal policy

In spite of their normal policy, the Nikko Station Hotel II made an exception due to the COVID-19 pandemic and issued a full refund. We will reschedule our trip to Japan after the pandemic passes and WILL DEFINITELY rebook at the Nikko Station Hotel II, as they have shown excellent customer service in a difficult time!

Great Place
Reviewed By SandBTokyoGreat hotel in Kinugawa. The hotel has a long history but seems like newly renovated and well-kept. The place is beautiful and the service and staff are excellent. When you arrive they will take your car, check you in and offer drinks in the lounge. The lounge is open pretty much all day with free drinks. The room was nice, clean and overlooking the river. It was tatami style with futons. We did not have dinner at the hotel but we did have breakfast. The breakfast buffet was very good. The onsen is really great. They alternate the onsen morning to night for men and women, so men had the B1 onsen at night and then the 1st floor onsen in the morning. The 1st floor onsen is best but however both are big, clean and awesome. What a pleasure to soak. The saunas were open as well. The kids like the game room, lots of games to play. Thumbs up and recommended.

We Were Treated Like Royalty
Reviewed By theclippersOur 5 night stay was amazing! This hotel and area just beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. We had some of the best service ever during our stay. The hotel is so modern with all natural features overlooking Lake Chūzenji. You almost feel like you are in a movie living the superhero life. This is the only Ritz Carlton in the world that has an onsen which my wife really enjoyed. It has indoor and outdoor sections. It was my daughters 3rd birthday and Azumi decorated the bed with lots of balloons and het favorite Anpanman characters. My daughter was so happy. Masa the GM has an incredible team including Taka who welcomed us at Titanium Elite members upon arrival and made sure we received a nice upgrade. There were some delicious snacks in the room including some of the best strawberries ever. Yuki and Yuka were always looking out for us and checking if we needed anything since we were traveling with our 3 year old daughter and 8 month old boy. The kids were treated like royalty. Nozomi from housekeeping was always as quick as her name to deliver anything we needed to the room. When I opened a hallway window by accident and couldn't close it, Sato came to the rescue. Mr. Doi and Khadka at the bar were always fun to talk to while having a one of their amazing cocktail creations. My favorite was the Nature Skin. I can't remember everyone's name but all the staff from the door greeters to the ladies that take you to your room to the restaurant employees are fantastic. I wish all hotels had people like this working for them. Arigatou gozaimasu for the incredible once in a lifetime experience we had.

Not a fascinating onsen hotel
Reviewed By jal747The rooms are small but clean. The dinner buffet was a bit disappointing, not many options and the quality is not good. But the breakfast buffet was good. The onsen is ok but nothing special. The hotel employees are very polite. Not many hotel amenities for a resort hotel.

Relaxing hotel deep in the mountains
Reviewed By LaJollaLadyFrom Nikko train station, they provided free shuttle to the hotel, and it takes around 50 minutes. This place is peaceful, and we got a view bath room with breakfast and dinner included. The best part is the relaxing indoor and outdoor hot springs. Dinner portion was a bit too much for me, and you need to dine at a designated time.
9. FUFU Nikko
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
Within walking distance of the famed Nikko Toshogu Shrine, FUFU Nikko sits next to Tamozawa Imperial Villa grounds, surrounded in all seasons by the river's gentle susurrus below. All 24 rooms, featuring a unique design, have a private hot spring bath inside. The restaurant offers a borderlessness that underpins the dining concept for Kaiseki and Teppanyaki.
Outstanding Japanese style luxury inn.
Reviewed By DavidT643Recently opened in Nikko next door to the Meiji emperors's villa and a short walk to the temples/shrines is Fufu, a modern design, luxury Japanese inn. Our room was second floor facing the back garden (woods). Beds (not futon) and rather large room for a Japanese inn (around 40 sqm.) 24 hour running hot spring in our room. Luxury details like a service box for receiving deliveries without opening your door. A separate large communal bath house for guests also on the premises. Once checked in, you can change to hotel loungewear with hotel slippers and go about as you wish (a traditional Japanese inn custom). Cocktails served in the main lounge before dinner while winding down at the fireplace after a long catharsis dip in the onsen bath. Dining experience was extraordinary beginning with the table for two facing outward with a nice view of the lighted garden/woods while sitting side-by-side with high partitions on both sides giving you full privacy. The server uniquely comes from the front using a narrow walkway just for them, between your table and the window, and with a lowered floor so that when your are being served you are at eye level with the server. Food was an amazing course experience served by the dish in traditional kaiseki style and further enhanced by the range of designs, shapes, colors, materials of the serving dishes heightening the presentations. Interesting wine pairings to match your kaiseki course. We tried the Kenzo flight that nicely complemented the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine. By the night's end we retired to enjoy a second onsen dip of the day. Only to enjoy a third first thing in the morning, and a fourth after a beautifully presented breakfast spread. Definitely going to try other Fufu hotels/inns. They live up to the hype...and more! Very well done. Our second night was the famous Fujiya hotel just across the stream which fell significantly short of its rich and glorious past. A major let down.

Great Onsen!
Reviewed By patrickperbkkWe came to the hotel for a public onsen while visiting Nikko. The hotel looks a bit outdated form the outside, but was on when visiting inside the hotel. It's a great experience with the Japanese traditional bath for the first time. Staff was polite and helpful. We visited there on a weekday afternoon, no people:-)
