Nikko Kanaya Hotel

I had long wanted to stay here at least once. My wish finally came true, and I stayed in the Orange Suite Room.The entire building was chic and wonderful, with a real sense of history. The Room featured an orange color theme with thoughtful touches throughout, making it a very enjoyable stay. I also received drink service tickets for the bar, and I was able to enjoy them in a wonderfully deep atmosphere.Dinner was a full-course French meal. I chose the fish, and it was so delicious that I was truly impressed.The staff were very prompt and accurate in their service, which made my stay extremely pleasant.I definitely want to stay again. Thank you very much.

Nikko Kanaya Hotel, Japan’s oldest classic hotel. I’m always amazed that it has continued operating for over 100 years in the same historic building.Staying in a place with such history—where Helen Keller and Albert Einstein are said to have stayed—feels truly special.Some areas show signs of age, such as peeling paint, but that only adds to the charm; it’s a genuinely wonderful building.The food was outstanding when I stayed before, so this time I chose a plan with both dinner and breakfast again.While it wasn’t quite as unforgettable as the first time, the meals were still excellent. Among the Classic Hotel of Japan group, I’d say this is one of the very best for dining.With Nikko Toshogu Shrine nearby and plenty of shops along the walk from the station, it’s also a great area for an enjoyable stroll.I look forward to visiting again.
