Fufu Nikko

This small luxury hotel delivers the comfort and privacy of a ryokan, with the service and polish of a five-star property. The rooms are huge. We’re talking spacious enough for a family, with separate areas that slide open or close depending on how much privacy you want. Every room includes an in-room onsen. Guests spend hours soaking while snow falls outside the window or trees rustle in the breeze. You get control over everything, lighting, temperature, ambiance.

One of our favorites? You’ll find quality lotions, teas, and bath products in your room that you’ll wish you could take home.

And the food? It’s the most praised part of FUFU Nikko. Breakfast and dinner are included, and they go far beyond expectations. Think Michelin-style presentation and deep flavors. The chef customizes menus, especially for longer stays, and everything is made to order with seasonal ingredients.
