Nikko Tour Reviews

“A great time with a great host!”
Ryoko was very knowledgeable about the area and my favorite place of the trip was Toshogu Shrine. Those steps were steep! It was a lovely area and thankfully, the weather was quite nice. I wish I could remember the name but the soba restaurant we went to was fantastic and the bakery on the way to station was nice as well. I strongly recommend Ryoko as your guide. In addition to her knowledge, she is a very friendly person to talk to and the time just flew away. She is quite passionate about the area and I hope to one day fully explore Nikko!

Ryoko T.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour — that truly means a lot to me. Since it was your first time in Nikko, I showed you the main highlights. As a local guide, I’d love to take you to more amazing places next time, like Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, as well as other wonderful spots. We could also visit Utsunomiya, famous for its delicious gyoza, and the pottery town of Mashiko. There’s still so much to explore! I hope we can meet again someday. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

“A unique experience ”
After spending 5 days in busy Tokyo, my family and I were ready to take a day trip out for some nature and cultural experiences. We are so grateful to have found Jack, who picked us up from the train station and drove us to all the sites, as we relaxed and took it all in. Nikko is truly a special place and this was a highlight of our trip. Jack is very knowledge of the area and we had some great chats as toured around. I highly recommend Jack and his tours, and my family and I wish him all the best!
