Overview
High in the mountains at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, TAOYA Nikko Kirifuri brings you into the heart of nature. Located inside a national park, this hot spring resort surrounds you with forests, stars, and sky. Step away from daily noise and breathe in the crisp mountain air as you soak in an infinity-style open-air bath or enjoy a quiet moment with a view from your room. Every season reveals a different side of the mountain—whether covered in snow, touched by spring greens, or glowing in autumn reds.
