Full Day Nikko Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In Japan, there is a saying (pun) that goes "Don't say Kekko until you see Nikko", which means "Don't say you are fully satisfied until you see Nikko". The great representation of Nikko is the combination of unparelled Cultural World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and pure beauty of nature at Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. This tour covers all of those key sites with my professional explanation of history and culture behind those heritages. Let's discover beauty of Nikko and exclaim "Kekko!!"
Meeting Point
At your hotel
- Please specify your hotel or your desired meeting point
Your hotel or desired meeting point in Tokyo.
I will meet with you at your hotel or at your desired point in Tokyo. I recommend a hired van which you can arrange through GoWith Guide. That would be the most time-efficient and economical way when you are a group of 5 or so.
Nikko Tou-shou-gu Shrine (Admission Yen 1,300 per person)
Nikko Toshogu Shrine is significant in two ways - one, for its artistic beauty. Its main gate Yomei Mon is also called "Higurashi-no-mon", which literally means that the beauty of the gate makes you stay there until after the sunset, for you forget about the time elapse. Another significance is its historic value which signifies the power of the first Shogun, IEYASU, who has been deified ias God in this shrine. Unfortunatelly, as we have a designated time schedule, you cannot quite stay there until sunset, however, I'm sure you will enjoy the after-image of this beautiful gate together with the pictures you will be taking during the tour.
Restaurant at Lake Chuzen-ji
You will enjoy variety of authentic Japanese or other ethnic cuisine of your choice.
Kegon Falls
This is a wonder of nature - elevation is 97 meters from the top of the falls and the bottom. You will see, hear and feel the spiritual water falls from close observations point.
Lake Chu-zen-ji
Entertains you with its natural beauty all the year round with its fresh air at the altitude of 1,269 meters above sea level
Your hotel in Tokyo
Relaxed and comfortable ride back to Tokyo
