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!!"

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.

10:00 AM

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.

12:00 PM

Restaurant at Lake Chuzen-ji

You will enjoy variety of authentic Japanese or other ethnic cuisine of your choice.

01:30 PM

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.

Entertains you with its natural beauty all the year round with its fresh air at the altitude of 1,269 meters above sea level

Tokyo

Basic concept of this tour is to cover all the key sites of Tokyo. You will see both the old and new faces of Metropolitan Tokyo. Tokyo has a unique and dynamic history after its designation as Japan's capital in 1868. This tour is based on public transportation, so it will involve some walkings but I will accommodate the amount of walking depending on how much you wish to walk. Regardless of the season, I will include the seasonal beauty of Tokyo for your fullest satisfaction.

This tour covers key sites of Mt. Fuji and its surroundings with beauty and wonders of nature. I will also cover the cultural aspect of this World Heritage Site. I will meet you at your hotel and will escort you back to your hotel. As I designed this tour, I focused on full coverage of key sites of Mt.

Kamakura

In the eastern Japan, Kamakura is one of the best (if not THE BEST) places to witness the deapths of Japanese history. While Kyoto is a capital established by aristocrats, Kamakura is a capital built and nurtured by samurai worrior class. Its culture is simple and dynamic. My guiding point is History, Culture, Natural Beauty and Zen spirit, not to mention authentic Japanese food of your preference (or choice in any ways)!! I would like you to see the unique historical sites of over 800 years.

Hakone is an attractive destination for one-day tour because of its easy access from Tokyo, many hot-spring resorts, and abundant natural beauty including a view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi. And it's also been a sacred religious site of mountain worship since ancient time. In this tour, we’ll visit three must-see spots in Hakone: Lake Ashi, Owakudani Valley, and Hakone Open-Air Museum. They will be a wonderful memory for you in Japan.

Tokyo

Mt.Fuji is not the tallest mountain in Japan, but it symbolizes Japan. It is 3,776m high and an independent peak representing Japan. From Shinjuku, you can take a special train to Mt Fuji. That is a 2-hour journey. Because of the majestic beauty of its ridgeline, it has been alive as a source of various cultures since ancient times. We recommend enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji from the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji, such as Kawaguchiko or Yamanakako. You can enjoy Mt.Fuji without climbing.
