Each room comes with its own Zen rock garden, which feels about right for a hotel sitting on the shores of Lake Chuzenji inside Nikko National Park. This Ritz-Carlton is a long way from the brand's usual neoclassical grandeur, trading marble columns for spare contemporary architecture that reads as genuinely Japanese. Onsen baths, an expansive spa, and a picture window framing Mount Nantai keep you from ever feeling obligated to leave. It holds a Forbes Five Star and two Michelin Keys.
