THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

While every room comes with a private hot spring bath, the larger public baths allow guests to enjoy the quintessential Japanese communal bathing experience. They are also nestled in a secluded tree-shaded nook nearer to the Tamozawa River, where the sound of the waters reverberates more strongly. The hotel's spring supplies piping hot alkaline waters said to be especially beneficial for easing respiratory complaints and improving circulation. Each gender-segregated bathing area features an indoor and outdoor pool of laurel-tinted Oya stone, as well as a small powder room stocked with FUFU Nikko's original organic amenities and cold water and beer for a post-bath refresher.
