Nikko is famous for its UNESCO-registered temples and shrines, but one must not forget the charm of nature. This time, we will introduce the 'Nikko Waraku-so,' located in a serene environment surrounded by the mountains of Nikko. Originally used as a resort for a major corporation, this lodge retains an old-fashioned atmosphere.
Stepping into Waraku-so, one is immediately surrounded by silence. Lush trees and the scent of wood fill the air, creating a luxurious space. Guests can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a peaceful time.
The lodge's buildings were built in the Taisho era and have maintained their atmosphere through careful maintenance. Stepping into the solid wooden structure feels like opening a door to another time.
The cuisine served in the intimate dining room uses plenty of local mountain delicacies. You can savor the deliciousness of freshly grown ingredients from nature. Mr. Ita's service, with a touch of humor, also adds to the enjoyable experience.
Waraku-so is commonly accessed by car, about 30 minutes from the Nikko IC on the Tohoku Expressway. For those traveling by train, it is about a 15-minute drive from Tobu-Nikko Station. Despite its secluded and nostalgic atmosphere, the accessibility from the city center is also quite good. Experience a leisurely time in the serene mountain lodge embraced by the nature of Nikko.
