Fufu Nikko

Every room comes with its own private hot-spring bath, which makes a strong opening argument for not leaving. Fufu Nikko is a luxury boutique hotel near the temples and shrines of Nikko, close enough to Tokyo to feel like an easy escape. Rooms are modern and spare, the forest presses right up against the public baths, and the restaurant, Setchu, moves between Japanese and European cooking. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.
