Description
This is a shared day sightseeing tour led by a trilingual driver. Visit Kegon Falls, stroll along Lake Chuzenji, explore the UNESCO-listed Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and discover the Oya History Museum.
Begins with a convenient hotel pick-up service. We provide pick-up for hotels within Tokyo's central 4 wards (Shinjuku, Chiyoda, Chuo, and Taito). For guests staying outside these areas, the meeting point will be at a designated location provided by our staff.
As this is a shared tour, the exact pick-up time will be confirmed by our staff in advance based on the day's conditions.
Please ensure you are ready at the designated location to keep the trip on schedule.
Travel to Nikko, where your first stop is Kegon Falls, one of Japan's "Three Great Waterfalls." Admire the 97-meter drop and take a leisurely stroll along the tranquil Lake Chuzenji, enveloped in winter tranquility.
Next, visit the Nikko Toshogu Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Marvel at the shrine's intricate carvings, gold leaf, and vibrant decorations, a masterpiece of Japanese shrine architecture.
Continue to the Oya History Museum, a 20,000-square-meter underground world carved from Oya stone. Explore the former quarry, about 30 meters deep, which maintains a cool temperature year-round, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere like an underground stone sanctuary.
After a day filled with wonder and emotion, return to Tokyo, reflecting on the mystical beauty of Nikko.
