Royal Hotel NASU

A Different Kind of Escape, Ninety Minutes from Tokyo

There's a particular kind of weekend that Japanese families have been taking for generations — leave Tokyo on a Friday afternoon, ride the Tohoku Shinkansen north into Tochigi, and step out into the cool air of the Nasu Highlands as the day slows down. By dinner you're in yukata, by nightfall you're soaking in an onsen with your family, and by morning you're standing at a buffet that takes ten minutes just to walk past.

Royal Hotel NASU is built around exactly that kind of trip. A 189-room highland resort with onsen baths, three generations of families coming back together, big buffet meals, karaoke after dinner, and an arcade for the kids. It's not a small ryokan, and it doesn't try to be. It's the kind of warm, family-run-feeling resort hotel that Japan does better than almost anywhere else in the world.

Who Stays Here

• Multi-generational families — grandparents, parents, and children together, the way Japanese family travel typically works

• Tokyo families on weekend escapes — particularly busy in summer (the Tokyo heat-escape season), autumn foliage, and ski season

• Couples wanting the resort experience rather than a small inn — bigger baths, more dining options, more to do on rainy days

• Groups celebrating special occasions — anniversaries, retirement trips, family reunions

• International visitors curious about Japanese family travel — this is what most Japanese resort holidays actually look like, and it's a wonderful thing to experience
