"Set in Nikkō National Park with views over Lake Chūzenji or Mount Nantai, the 94-room lakeside hotel is the brand’s first property with an on-site hot spring sourced from nearby Yumoto Onsen. Design elements blend Japanese and Western influences—Nikko-bori woodcarvings, kumiko latticework, and Mashiko pottery—while dining spotlights local specialties such as yuba and Tochigi wagyu, and programming includes cross-country skiing, guided nature walks, and temple visits led by local monks." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
