Hotel • 1300 Kamihatsuishimachi, Nikko, Tochigi 321-1401, Japan
Kanaya Hotel is one of the oldest luxury resort hotels in Japan. Since its founding in 1873, it has stood in front of the Toshogu Shrine, known for its traditional wooden architecture and French cuisine. Designated as a registered tangible cultural property, it has accommodated notable figures such as Einstein and Helen Keller.
With the main building, as well as new and annex buildings, it offers different atmospheres to enjoy. Especially, the annex building has been renovated with modern facilities, balancing comfort and historical value. The contrast between the wooden exterior and modern room design creates a distinct charm.
The hotel is scattered with various attractions. During guided tours, you can view valuable materials such as commemorative cards from Einstein's stay, in addition to learning about the hotel's history. The tour also includes a visit to the former dining room, which is usually off-limits, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of that time.
French cuisine is one of the hotel's pride. The "100 Years Dinner", recreating dishes from 100 years ago, offers a precious experience to savor the seasonings and dishes of that time. In addition to the traditional taste, the breakfast with the view of autumn leaves from the window is exquisite.
Nikko Kanaya Hotel integrates tradition and innovation cultivated over its long history, offering a unique charm that cannot be experienced elsewhere. In the dignified atmosphere, it provides a blissful space where time flows leisurely.
