Hotels near Senjogahara Field, Nikko

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.

- this is a newly renovated property, room and all other facilities were clean and spotless. - great price/performance ratio, one of the cheapest options in Okunikko. - fast wifi, 320 / 337 Mbps, 10ms ping, according to Ookla. - tasty breakfast, perfect before heading out, there are no shops closeby, only several restaurants, if you have an option to add breakfast to your plan, do it. - it is a bit off the village centre, but just 16 minutes of walk to the main Torii gate, while you have excellent views of Lake Chuzenji and Mount Nantai on the way. - the only grocery store is Mimuraya (中禅寺ストアー みむらや), close to the bus terminal, it closes at 8PM. - do try the local Nikko Belgian beer - it is worth it. - the restaurant, which is attached to the hotel, offers various meals for a good price. - hotel staff is very friendly and does everything to make their customers content, which is great. - if you are not willing to do regular walks, use Nikko Pass, which will let you use the boat, the boat pier is 3 minutes of walk from the hotel. - local bus heading towards this area has limited service dates, it operates only for a short period of time in autumn due to 紅葉.

Not too far from attraction place that we went

Amazing location on the lake. Friendly and accommodating staff, beautiful food. Fab onsen

This was one of my very best stays in Japan. Reaching the place is easy, as the bus stops right next to it (Nikko pass is essential for this purpose, since the bus trip would otherwise cost a fortune!). The place is secluded, especially in winter. If you're after tranquility and mountains, this is the place. The resort restaurant serves its own breakfast and dinner - quite expensive, but this is a four-star hotel, and the quality of the food (and the service) is superb. For cheaper options, one may need to take the bus to the next bigger places. This property has two onsen pools: one indoor and one outdoor, both great. In the evening, there’s fire in the lounge fireplace, adding a very rustic feeling to the whole thing. We certainly enjoyed it. Overall, this is not a cheap place at all, but the quality was outstanding, and we loved every moment of the stay (except the morning we had to leave).
