From the moment we arrived, we had the highest level of service and hospitality including tea and treats to welcome us. Our room was impeccably designed and maintained throughout our stay. The nightly ritual of donning our yukata and walking to the onsen was the highlight of our stay… it was especially lovely to see the sun set over Mt. Nantai from the women’s side. Highly recommend a stay here while you visit Lake Chuzenji, hiking trails, temples and waterfalls. It’s a stunning area!

リッツカールトンの日光でゴールデンウィーク過ごしました。 さすがに混んでいて、チェックインも時間かかりました。 そのため、レンタサイクリングで時間を潰して、華厳の滝と中禅寺湖を散策! しっかりしたマウンテンバイクで気持ちよくサイクリングを楽しめました。 客室は、もちろん広く、綺麗でした。 靴のまま上がるタイプではなく、脱いでスリッパに履き替えるスタイルも嬉しい。 ベランダには、大人2人座れる席があり、川を見ながら一息。 入りませんでしたが、客室内のお風呂にはバスソルトも。クローゼットも広く、文句なしです。 そしていちごと、お猿さんのモナカがウエルカムギフトとして置いてありました!嬉しい。 アクティビティも充実していて、中禅寺で数珠ブレスレット作り、座禅、手持ち花火、リッツキッズも楽しめました。 まだやりたいことを残してるので来年にでも行こうかな。 ここでしかできない体験がリッツ・カールトン日光ではできたと思います。 もちろん、リッツのホスピタリティもありつつ、最高の1日でした。 本当の意味で、リフレッシュして気持ちよかったです。 リッツの中でも、1番じゃないかなと感じてます。
