The hotel opened in 1873 when the Kanaya family converted their home into an inn.[1] In 1893, the family constructed a grand hotel on 14 acres adjacent to Nikkō Tōshō-gū.[1]
Notable guests have included Isabella Bird in 1878, Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905, Dr. Albert Einstein in 1922, and Helen Keller in 1937.[2][3]
In 2016, the Tobu Railway Company acquired 60% of the hotel's shares making it part of the Tobu Group.[4]
