A World-Exclusive

Onsen Experience

Our hotel spa is home to the world’s first The Ritz-Carlton branded onsen, which draws its natural hot spring water direct from Nikko Yumoto Onsen, a renowned magical hot spring destination ever since its discovery more than 1200 years ago. Immerse in the warm embrace of relaxation to soothe body and soul.

Quality

Our hydrogen sulfide simple sulfur spring maintains a temperature of 78.6 °C. The source water is low in acidity, colorless, and transparent, but turns milky white when exposed to air with a natural sulfuric scent.

Benefits

Known to help those recovering from nerve and joint pain, as well as general fatigue, the water’s abundant metasilicic acid contains skin-rejuvenating properties to act as a natural moisturizer.

Featured Treatments

Nature Immersion

In a serene treatment room adorned with a wooden carving of the peony, a beloved motif of Nikko’s iconic shrines and temples, deep breathing techniques help to settle the mind. A skin-smoothing exfoliation prepares the body for a soothing massage that skillfully stimulates reflex points with a warm bamboo wand, easing tension. Peony-scented essential oil nourishes the skin, improving clarity and tone.

Sake Revive & Renew

This ritual combines the age-old health benefits of vitamin-rich sake lees and rice-bran oil with modern-day ultrasound and vacuum-suction pore cleansing. Sake-lees foam made from Tochigi-grown organic rice and fresh local spring water is used to soften and brighten the skin of the back before the deeply cleansing pore treatment. Next, warm rice-bran oil nourishes the skin in full-body and scalp massages.

Restorative Rock Ritual

Nikko’s geographic history inspires this treatment, which utilizes volcanic basalt stones as well as sacred spring water and purifying natural salt from Futarasan Shrine. Circulation is enhanced, deep-seated muscle tension relieved, and the skin both smoothed and nourished. A truly spiritual experience conceived to restore balance and harmony both physically and emotionally.

Private Onsen Experience

The ultimate holistic journey. Enjoy a tension-melting soak in your own secluded outdoor thermal pool nestled in nature for optimum relaxation before an indulgent, mindful and personalized warm essential oil massage. Emerge renewed as this luxurious treatment delivers a taste of nature, culture and holistic healing—totally re-setting mind and body.

Fitness Studio

A stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko includes access to our fully-equipped fitness studio, open 24 hours a day. Whether you want to maintain your training routine or get into a new healthy habit, it’s never been easier to balance relaxation with fitness.
