EXPERIENCE

Discover UNESCO World Heritage sites and immerse yourself in Japanese culture and history at the Toshogu Shrine. Experience a luxurious ride in a Toyota Crown, chauffeured by an expert English-speaking driver, as you embark on a private tour from Tokyo to the serene haven of Nikko, one of the North Kanto region’s most iconic destinations.

Customize your itinerary with convenient pickup and drop-off at your hotel, traveling in comfort with air conditioning, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and complimentary refreshments, including water, tea, or coffee. Your journey begins with a visit to the renowned Toshogu Shrine, the crown jewel of Nikko’s attractions. Admire its vividly adorned structures, intricately carved and dedicated to the spirit of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543 – 1616), who rests here.

Next, cross the sacred Shinkyo Bridge, part of the Futarasan Jinja Shrine complex. This elegant vermilion arch gracefully spans the Daiya-gawa River, harmonizing with the surrounding natural beauty.

Continue your exploration at Narabi Jizo, a cluster of statues representing Jizo Bosatsu, the guardian of children and travelers. These statues, revered for their protective qualities, reflect ancient beliefs that predate Buddhism.

Visit the Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa, a historical retreat for Emperor Taisho. This architectural gem blends styles from the late Edo, Meiji, and Taisho periods, offering a glimpse into Japanese imperial history and culture as you wander through its diverse buildings and picturesque gardens.

Ascend to the Akechidaira Observation Deck for sweeping views of Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, and Mt. Nantai, particularly stunning during the vibrant autumn foliage.

Your tour concludes with a visit to Kegon Falls, one of Japan’s top three waterfalls, formed by volcanic activity that altered the Daiya River’s course. Year-round, the falls offer awe-inspiring vistas.

Finally, relax at Lake Chuzenji, also known as the Sea of Happiness, a tranquil lake nestled within Nikko National Park. Shaped by ancient volcanic eruptions, this serene lake, with its expansive surface area and picturesque surroundings, provides a peaceful finale to your exploration of Nikko.

Experience the tranquility, natural beauty, and cultural richness of Nikko on this comprehensive tour, designed to capture the essence of Japan’s most treasured historical and natural wonders.
