Hotels in Nikko National Park, Japan

Nikko National Park sits about 80 miles north of Tokyo in Japan's mountains, famous for the ornate Toshogu Shrine built in 1617 and Kegon Falls plunging 318 feet. Summers are warm and humid (around 77°F/25°C), perfect for hiking through ancient cedar forests and visiting the shrine complex, while winters bring snow and temperatures around 32°F/0°C, ideal for seeing the frozen waterfalls and soaking in hot springs at Yunishigawa Onsen. If you come in autumn, the vibrant red and gold leaves along Irohazaka Winding Road are a must-see, and spring offers cherry blossoms near Lake Chuzenji.
