Tochigi Nikko City
A supreme spa experience embraced by the nature of Oku-Nikko
"The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko" is a luxury hotel on the shores of Lake Chuzenji and the world’s first property in the brand to feature an onsen. The sulfur spring water drawn from Nikko Yumoto Onsen, which has a history of more than 1200 years, is served in its fresh state, turning milky white when exposed to the air. The sauna is a full-fledged dry sauna infused with the aroma of Japanese cypress, and the fully glass-walled public bath offers views of the abundant nature of Oku-Nikko. This serene space, available only to spa treatment guests, lets you forget the everyday and guides both body and mind into the ultimate state of relaxation. It is truly a supreme retreat where authentic hot springs and a luxurious sauna environment come together.
