For the first time, Nikko Kankakuya and the Royal Supercar Club have combined traditional Japanese onsen lodging with high-end supercar driving, launching a two-day, one-night “Onsen Stay & Supercar Dream Tour.” The package includes both entry-level and luxury options, offering not only Bentley limousine transfers, butler service, kaiseki cuisine, premium spa massages, unlimited bar drinks, and stays in open-air bath suites or presidential suites, but also the thrill of driving your own supercar around town.

Nikko Kankakuya Director and key figure behind bringing the brand to Taiwan, Mr. Tokumitsu Shigeto, said: “In Japan, Kankakuya is the hotel that locals dream of staying at at least once in their lifetime — a ‘must-experience hot spring ryokan.’ With over 30 years of history, Kankakuya boasts countless legendary stories rooted in its exceptional hospitality and the iconic ‘Okyakubu (hospitality staff) culture’ beloved throughout Japan. Now, the Nikko Group has brought the authentic Kankakuya experience to Beitou, Taiwan, allowing guests from Taiwan to enjoy the dream without leaving the country, and making it more accessible for travelers from Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, and Southeast Asia.”
Royal Supercar Club representative and manager Ms. Zhang Yingxin stated that the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and Ferrari F430 Spider are the most recommended models for this collaboration, as they are among the top supercars that many men aspire to drive. In addition, you’ll find the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which is primarily used for shuttle services. All participating guests can enjoy airport transfer services between Taoyuan International Airport and the Kankakuya Beitou hotel.
