Description
Explore Nikko's UNESCO-listed shrines and natural wonders on a small-group tour from Tokyo. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Tochigi mountains in a luxury van with a local guide.
Experience the grandeur of Nikko without the crowds of a large tour bus. This "semi-private" experience offers the intimacy of a luxury vehicle combined with the affordability of a shared tour. Guided by a local expert, journey from Tokyo into the heart of the Tochigi mountains to explore Japan’s most ornate shrines and breathtaking waterfalls.
Begin with a guided walk through the UNESCO-listed masterpiece of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, featuring the "Hear No Evil" monkeys and gold-leaf architecture. Next, make a photo stop at the iconic "Sacred Bridge," the legendary entrance to Nikko’s shrines.
Enjoy the views as you navigate the famous 48-hairpin turns ascending into the mountains. Then, witness one of Japan’s top three waterfalls via a scenic observation deck. Finally, take a serene break at the foot of Mt. Nantai, Japan’s highest natural lake.
