Nikko Luxury: Snow, Heritage & Onsen Bliss

贅沢な日光の冬旅

As the New Year approaches, a crisp, cold, and pure atmosphere hangs over the World Heritage sites, such as Nikko Toshogu Shrine, enhancing their sacredness even further. You can feel this powerful energy throughout your entire being.
Take a moment to stop in Nikko National Park, and you will find a world of sound enveloped in the silence of the snow. Take a step, and the excitement begins.
There are three main reasons why we highly recommend a visit to "Winter Nikko":
1. World Heritage Sites Full of Mysticism
2. Snow Experiences: Enjoy powder snow, snowshoeing, and Yukimi Onsen (hot springs with snow views) in Oku-Nikko and Oku-Kinu.
3. The Best Taste of the Year: Winter Strawberries!
If you come to Nikko in winter, you must try strawberry picking to taste fresh, exquisite, and delicious strawberries, or simply enjoy various strawberry sweets. We love them and recommend this delicious experience from the bottom of our hearts!
