Hot Nikko Ryokan Rates

You’re the type who loves the classics with a modern twist: bacon old-fashioneds, and mid-century modern furniture, and that little black dress with a pop of colour. Traditional doesn’t equal stodgy in your mind—the past is always part of the present, and when you travel, you want the best of both worlds. Put down that bevvy and brace yourself, because we’ve got big news. Ryokans in Nikko are exactly what you’re looking for.

Your friends might be eager to get on to the next big thing, but you like to stop and smell the roses (actually, lotuses are more likely in your ryokan garden). Your motto is “Que sera, sera” (what will be, will be), and the laid-back lifestyle of Nikko will fit you like a kimono. It’s time to totally immerse yourself in the #RyokanVibes—and yes, you can steal that hashtag. We won’t tell anyone.

If you thought the minimalist movement was a new trend, go ask Japan. They’ve been masters of decluttering for centuries, and your ryokan’s got the feng shui to prove it. Inside is total Zen, and outside, you can get back to nature. Surrounded by lush landscapes yet convenient to the city life, staying in a ryokan in Nikko is like knowing a wonderful secret.

We know another secret: You don’t have to have mad yen to make your Nikko holiday dreams come true. You can find cheap ryokan accommodation on lastminute.com.au and save your coins to throw in the wishing well. But with every little thing taken care of, what is there to wish for? The only thing left to accomplish is complete relaxation—and you’re halfway there already.
