Where to stay in Nikko
Two hotels in Nikko we would book for a client, in Honcho, beside the Tamozawa Imperial Villa and Lake Chuzenji. All hold MICHELIN Keys. One of them books through a partner programme, which adds an upgrade where one is free, daily breakfast for two, a hotel credit and late checkout, at the hotel's own rate.
