Everything. Good food, Good accommodation, Good services, Beautiful scenery, Beautiful insen, Can you tell me anywhere else in Japan better than Nikko Ritz Carlton ? If there is , I get ready my trip 😃

Not ready have .

We were expecting a fine hotel experience for our trip to Nikko but experienced so much more at the Ritz Carlton. Elevated, serene, beautiful facilities and accommodations along with one superlative food experience, made for one of our favorite stays anywhere, ever. Both of our rooms were wonderful, but the suite was just wonderful. All of the food was very good during our stay, but our omakase experience - our favorite sushi ever and one of our favorite meals ever. (For what it's worth, I have never used 'ever' so often in a review) Consistently friendly, helpful staff as well. This is a unique and special place and I fully expect that we'll retreat here again on future trips to Tokyo.

The hotel is a very good distance from the train station and Nikko proper so be prepared for long and winding taxi rides to and from (to give you a sense of the distance, iirc I think they were around $40+ each way). That said, it's a very pretty drive and there's a reason the Nikko is where it is - in the mountains, abutting the lake, (very) proximate to waterfalls, with gorgeous vistas from our lakeside rooms.

We had the most wonderful time at the hotel! Staff were very professional and welcoming, breakfast was outstanding, the whole stay very relaxing! Onsent was incredible. The hotel is located by beautiful lake, great for walks and long runs!

My stay at Ritz Carlton Nikko was simply fantastic. Put a tremendously passionate, dedicated group of people through a world-class Ritz Carlton hospitality training program and you get service that's nothing short of perfection. The hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful, it's facilities (both spa and public onsen) were amazing, and food was thoughtful, delicious, and wholesome. My wife and I could not have asked for more and yearn to be back in the, hopefully, near future.

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in from extremely friendly and responsive staff to facilities. Everything is perfect

Just small stuff, the gym doesn’t have enough weights, missing are 2kg, 4kg, 8kg, 12kg set of weights

Beautiful design and view. Lounge and Bar are very good

The Japanese restaurant has zero atmosphere. A minimal dress code should be imposed to avoid shorts and gym wear. Loud and unpleasant. A carpet in the room would be more cozy

Everything apart from a poor choice of vegan options across the menus in both restaurants.

Beautifully designed hotel. The rooms are huge and havw great views. We had the teppanyaki for dinner which was superb. The onsen was a really relaxing experience.

Nothing

Impressive architecture! Very beautiful interior design. Very clean everywhere. The staff was very kind and very keen to assist us. The location is perfect if you want to spend a short amount of time surrounded by nature.

The staff are very nice and helpful, have a wonderful warm welcome and everyone working diligently. During my stay all the staff have been very supportive and nice, especially the F&B staffs. Thank you for such a memorable trip.
