Founded in 1873, the Nikko Kanaya Hotel is Japan’s oldest classic resort hotel that has continued to refine its tradition and prestige.

The interior of the hotel has a nostalgic atmosphere befitting the oldest hotel in Japan, blending the beauty of Japanese architecture and Western design and interior design to express the nostalgia of the past.

By train, it takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Tokyo Station to Tobu Nikko Station via Tobu Railway, and from there it takes about 5 minutes by cab.

Even today, the hotel is a tasteful location where you can feel the atmosphere of the Meiji era and the nature lining the eaves.

The Nikko Kanaya Hotel was first opened in 1873 with its predecessor “Kanaya Cottage Inn”, and has honed much of its history and status as a resort summer resort in Japan.

Today, the Nikko Kanaya Hotel’s main building, new building, annex, and Ryugu are also designated as registered tangible cultural properties.

While the design, interior, facilities, and services have been repeatedly expanded and renovated over the years, the nostalgic atmosphere has been preserved without being removed.

Despite the fact that the hotel can be expanded and remodeled in a modern way, it still maintains the tradition and dignity of the Meiji era, and once you step into the hotel, you will experience a nostalgia that is hard to find in modern times.

The main dining room is prepared to propose the traditional French cuisine of Kanaya Hotel, such as “Sautéed Rainbow Trout Kanaya Style” and “Taisho Croquette”, which have been handed down from successive generations of chefs.

Enjoy the French cuisine that has been passed down from generation to generation with a certain depth of flavor, and the atmosphere of the restaurant that is brand new but also nostalgic in many places.

After a meal in the main dining room, you may want to take a break from the daily grind at the Day Sight bar, where more than 200 single malt whiskeys are always available.
