Fufu Nikko

This was our first Fufu experience and wow what a way to start. Everything here is impeccable, from the moment you we arrived at the carpark, you'd instantly know that you are in good hands. Every single staff was lovely to interact with, service was personable and extremely proactive and attentive. Food was great and the drinks selection was decent - they offered an agreeable champagne for free drink happy hour and if you want something nicer, a lot of good wines were available at extremely reasonable prices. The hotel had a feeling of a luxury safari tent or of the best of Amans. It is everything that a luxury hotel/ryokan could and should be. Even the other guests were all courteous, polite and friendly. We were constantly surprised by all the small gestures and stuff that the staff prepared for us. We won’t go into too much detail as we don’t want to spoil it for you, but if you were to visit Japan, you must make a detour to visit Fufu Nikko. It’s just THAT good. It's better than any hotels in Japan (even the Amans, and we consider ourselves Amanjunkies).||Room: We stayed at the lowest room category Stylish Suite. We were perfectly happy with it. We feel that rooms on the first floors offer easiest accessibility. We would likely be staying for 3 nights for our next visit, as Nikko has so much to offer and is the highlight of our trip.

Unforgettable Luxury, Heartfelt Hospitality – A True Gem in Nikko FUFU Nikko is what every luxury resort should aspire to be. Nestled in a fairytale forest landscape, it combines refined architecture, exquisite service, and thoughtful details into a stay that feels both indulgent and deeply personal. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not just as guests, but as honored individuals. The staff—gracious, attentive, and full of quiet warmth—made our visit feel like a celebration. They assumed we were on our honeymoon and surprised us with a stunning flower arrangement and a congratulatory dessert, complete with a personalized message and beautiful presentation. They took commemorative photos for us, too—a gesture that was as unexpected as it was meaningful. Our room was beautiful and serene, with a private onsen overlooking the tranquil forest. It was a space designed for relaxation and reflection—natural materials, elegant lighting, and complete privacy. Every moment we spent in that room felt like a retreat from the world. The culinary experience was equally exceptional. The multi-course kaiseki dinners were masterpieces—delicate, seasonal, and artistically presented, with flavors that told the story of the region. Breakfast was also a quiet joy, thoughtfully curated and beautifully served. What made this experience truly unforgettable, however, was the team. The entire staff was outstanding, but we want to give special thanks to Yurie Honda, whose sincerity, attentiveness, and warmth elevated our experience even further. She made us feel truly seen and cared for—from thoughtful surprises to ensuring a seamless departure, including personally escorting us to the train station when we left. FUFU Nikko is more than a resort—it’s a sanctuary. Despite its premium price, it feels like a gift to yourself and your loved ones. We will absolutely return, and recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary, soul-restoring experience in Japan.

Beautiful boutique style property, staff are amazing, food is very special and the onsen is lovely.|We had a comfort suite which was huge and extremely comfortable.|Just a work from the temple area so very convenient.|Beautiful setting.|Can't fault anything, a really lovely experience.

Overall outstanding servicing and great atmosphere in the hotel. The meal presentation is great and taste good Most of the staffs here also able to communicate in English and Mandarin as well

The service is incredible and the meals are great! The lounge and the room are really comfy, good music as well. Even though the typhoon is nearby and it rained heavily the day I stayed, there is no regret at all. Really good experience, and looking forward to coming back again and maybe try another ふふ :)

Fufu Nikko exceeded our expectations. Put simply — if you are considering staying here vs other premium-level ryokan in the greater Tokyo area, don't hesitate to book. The service is attentive and focused. The food is impeccably prepared. The beds are ludicrously comfortable.||After much overthinking, my wife and I booked 3 nights in a base-level 'Stylish Suite' and were extremely satisfied with the choice. The room included two queen-sized beds outfitted with the most comfortable set of pillows I've yet to experience in a hotel setting.||Meals were large, creative and included several thoughtful touches. Every evening felt like a Michelin-star experience. Breakfast is a choice of Japnese or Western style. We tried both and preferred Japanese. But the Western breakfast has a couple fun plot twists that elevated it beyond the expected.||On top of this — Nikko itself is a perfect setting for a couple's trip, or weekend with the family. The property is just a 1/2 mile walk away from Nikko's historic complex of Shrines and Temples that could easily consume two days of a visitor's time.||I didn't even get started on the onsen water, or how amazing the local springs are. Nikko is a beautiful place and we can't wait to stay here again.

We had an incredible stay at Fufu Nikko, the service is excellent, the surroundings are beautiful and the food was outstanding. The hotel rooms are beautiful with every amenity you could need. We loved the complimentary drinks and teppanyaki dinner. We have to give a special mention to Tomoya Inagawa, his service was excellent and he is a credit to the Fufu hotel. He went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and unforgettable. Only recommendation is to potentially have options for breakfast… while the breakfast was impressive and incredible, it was far too much food and we felt we were wasting it!

I loved the level of professionalism and courtesy provided by the staff. From start to finish, I felt like royalty. I also loved the suite itself and the open air bath attached to it. The only thing I didn’t like was the apparent stain on one of the sofas and the spillage stain under one of the chairs on the balcony. It kind of spoiled the pristine image, but I loved the food - the taste and the way it was presented and explained.
