Welcome to HonkeBankyu
HonkeBankyu is surrounded by beautiful nature, so you can relax and feel connected with the rivers and the mountains. Located about 3 hours away from Tokyo, this Ryokan was established in 1666 as a healing hot spring inn at Yunishigawa riverside in Nikko.
Cross the "Kazura Suspension Bridge" and slip into Japan’s ancient past. Awaiting you on the other side is a sumptuous feast in a hidden restaurant inspired by the Heiki Samurai hiding place in the olden days. We offer “irori" which is an open hearth grill cuisine and “kaiseki”, a traditional Japanese course comprised of different dishes.
