Nikko, trip to popular spots and the spot of odd sight
Nikko has been a well-known center of Shinto and Buddhist mountain worship since Toshogu was built in 1617 and Nikko National Park continues to offer scenic, mountainous landscapes, lakes, waterfalls. However, there are still many unfamiliar places of odd sight in Nikko. One of them is Kanmangafuchi abyss. This trip is to visit not only popular sight-seeing spots but also spot of odd sight. If you follow the Daiya river, you will reach a small gorge called Kanmangafucchi Abyss.

Toshogu Shrine is the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate that ruled Japan about 260 years. You can enjoy the lavishly decorated shrine complex consists of more than a dozen buildings set in a beautiful forest, countless wood carvings and large amounts of gold leaf decorated buildings.

Kanmangafuchi Abyss was formed by an eruption of nearby Mount Nantai. This gorge near central Nikko is only a few hundred meters

“Tokyo Day two”
Nao, Was an absolute gentleman, was the oldest guide we used in Japan but such a wealth of knowledge and as I said such a gentleman. Definitely knew his way around but at the same time negotiated the most efficient way to travel without the traditional crowds you would expect in Tokyo. We definitely regret not being able to say a proper goodby to Nao San due to having to catch our next train to Kanazawa.

If I have a chance to visit Europe in the future, I want to include Lithuania on the list of "must visit" list. Please give my best regards to all members of your group and thank them for cooperating with me to conduct the tour smoothly. Nao
“Highly recommend Nao as a guide”
We booked Nao to see the highlights of Tokyo and we’re so pleased we did. From our first communication with Nao, he was punctual in his responses and clearly set out what we would be doing on the day. He is very personable, knowledgeable about his city and considerate of his clients needs. We enjoyed spending the day with him.
