Nasu Heisei-no-mori Forest walk and Nasu Highland
We go to Nasu by motorway and stop at Sesshoseki (Killing stone) and then to Nasu Heisei-no-mori Forest. We walk there around a couple of hours and have lunch.
There is no restaurant in that area so that you should buy your lunch at one of the covenience stores on the way to Nasu. After lunch if the weather permits we go to the ninth station of Chausudake mountain by ropeway. We enjoy spectacular scenery from there. Then dropping off at the visitor center to learn about Nasu. We pass through Nasu Imperial villa and we will drop by some souvenir shops if you like.

“A full day itinerary ”
Jack was detailed and provided us with lots of fun facts of the places we visit. Nothing was set in stone and the plan changes according to our speed, break time, and weather. Jack tried to take us to Kegon Falls twice since the first time we went it was too foggy to see anything, so we came back in the afternoon to try to catch it, but sadly it got even foggier! Definitely would recommend Jack's tour to anyone that wanted a guided tour of Oku Nikko and Nikko Toshogu.

“Great Guide!”
Jack was very accommodating to our group with some more mobile than others. He shared local and historical knowledge that made all we saw much more meaningful. I contacted him after the tour as I left my hat in the lunch restaurant. He graciously and quickly mailed my hat back to me. I am very grateful! どうもありがとうございます

Debra, Thank you for your review. It's OK with me to send your cap without payment this time. If someone plans to travel to Nikko, why don't you ask them about my tour? Best, Jack
