Nikko is located about 125 kilometers north of Tokyo and makes a good one-day trip from Tokyo.It will take about two hours from Tokyo with a limited express. It is a home to world heritage sites including Toshogu Shrine, Futarasan Shrine, and Rinnoji Temple.We will visit Nikko by public transportation and walk around the sacred area surrounded by beautiful nature. So, we would enjoy not only temples and shrines, but also will experience Nikko’s natural beauty.

About Tour Guide Takeshi H.

Hello! My name is Takeshi.

I am a National Licensed Guide Interpreter in English.

I was born in Tokyo. I worked for Canon for more than 30 years including a 5-year assignment to the U.S. office. Before joining Canon, I received a master's degree in engineering in the United States.

After retiring from the company, I began working as a volunteer guide for foreign visitors in Kamakura and Yokohama for a while.

However, I became fascinated by the beautiful nature of Nagano prefecture and decided to move here to the Yatsugatake Mountains, 1000m above sea level in Nagano a few years ago.

Since then I go out to look at the breathtaking mountains, lakes, and shrines every day. I would like to guide you to these special sites and also share with you the Japanese culture in my guided tours.

I am flexible and can customize the tour based on the customer's request.

I am also a Certified Travel Service Administrator. My hobby is Aikido and I hold the 2nd Dan black belt.

Hope to see you soon.

Highly recommended

Takeshi was an excellent communicator. He went out of his way to investigate onsen options and the day was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your review. On the day of the tour, due to the cold snap, we had record-breaking heavy snow, but I am glad I could finish the tour safely and happily.

Snow Monkey Park and Zenkoji templo Tour

My family and I took the tour with Takeshi-san as our guide to Snow Monkey Park and Zenkoji temple in january 2025, and it was wonderful! Takeshi is super cordial, friendly and careful, making our tour of Nagano even better. Even when facing an unforeseen event, with heavy snow falling, we managed to enjoy all the stages, with him helping us at all times. We highly recommend it!
