Nikko, Japan
Do not stay at Nikko Station 2, lol. It’s rated 3 star…barely a 2. Plywood counter, makeshift lights, camper-style bathroom🤪
The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko dazzles with its sublime onsen (hot springs bath) and atmospheric bar • Bathe in nature at renowned Nikko National Park • Hike wooded paths lined with Jizo statues along the Kanmangafuchi Abyss • Visit lavishly decorated Nikko Toshogu, a 17th-century Shinto shrine complex and World Heritage Site • On the Kinugawa River, raft exhilarating rapids through deep gorges and rocky cliffs • Stroll through peaceful larch forest along the shoreline of Lake Chuzenji • Visit two of Nikko’s most famous waterfalls, Ryuzu and Yudaki • Bird watchers—a hike through the Senjogahara Plateau’s expansive marshland is an avian dream!
