Itinerary

Today, we head to Nikko! First, the bus takes us head to Nikko Toshogu Shrine. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its lavish decorations and ornate details. 400-year-old shrine houses the remains of Edo period's founder, Ieyasu Tokugawa. Enjoy seeing the traditional beauty of the main hall, as well as the sleeping cat and 3 monkey carvings. After a Japanese-style lunch, we proceed to Lake Chuzenji which was created by the eruption of Mt. Nantai and the lake is a symbol of Nikko. Known as one of Japan's 3 great waterfalls, Kegon Falls towers an impressive 97 meters and gushes water from Lake Chuzenji. Stop at Tobu Nikko Station. The tour ends for those who wish to end the tour here. Participants can also continue this tour and go to Hanyu Parking Area, see the beautiful structures and famous long-established shops dating back to the Edo Period, and enjoy shopping for souvenirs. This tour disbands upon arrival near Shinjuku Station West Exit. Please head to your next destination on your own from Shinjuku.

Special Notes

If the minimum number of participants (1) is not met 4 days before the scheduled date, the tour on that date may be cancelled.

Heavy traffic due to colored leaves is expected every year on Irohazaka Winding Road from Oct. 11 to Nov. 6. Therefore, Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji will not be visited during this period. In such case, one of the following will be visited instead of Kegon Falls: Taiyuuin Mausoleum at Rinno-ji Temple, Futarasan Shrine, Kirifuri Falls, or Tamozawa Imperial Villa.

The alternative plan may be used due to road conditions or other reasons. No refunds will be issued as a result of location changes.

Be sure to wear shoes and clothing which are comfortable to walk in.

An earphone guide will be provided to each participant at Nikko Toshogu Shrine. However, if there are 15 or fewer participants, earphone guides may not be used.
A fee of JPY 10,000 may be incurred if an earphone guide is lost or damaged by a participant.

As the tour uses a bus for the entire itinerary, arrivals at each site may be delayed due to road conditions.

Vegetarian meals are available and must be requested at the time of booking.

Depending on road conditions, the tour may stop at a different parking area (rest area) instead of the Hanyu Parking Area. In this case, please note that the different rest area will not be a representation of an Edo Period town.

The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.
