Totally recommend this trip!

Both Nikko and Lake Chuzenji were quite stunning! Unfortunately, Kegon Falls was not visible due to the mist that day. Good food and a well informed guide made the total experience very worth it.

Well organised with a very experienced & cheerful tour guide!

Reviewed by: Anna, 2018/12/14

Enjoyed the trip tremendously!
Our tour guide, Ms Anne, was very experienced and informative about Nikko, its history etc. She also gave a "mini city guide" along the way to our destination.
She was also a cheerful lady and was very accommodating to our requests.
Felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip.

A magical place

Reviewed by: Umniyah , 2018/07/19

Nothing represents Japan better than Shinto shrines and breath-taking sceneries and that is exactly what Nikko has to offer !

The place is classified as a world heritage centre for a reason ! The carvings and paintings are marvellous , i very much enjoyed the optional 207 step hike to the tomb of tokugawa ieyasu !

Our traditional Japanese feast was very popular & filling , and kegon falls offered the perfect combination between Japanese sweets , water sound & magical visuals ..

Highly recommended

A lovely tour and well worth the 3 hours bus trip.

Reviewed by: D Van, 2018/02/12

Our tour guide was very knowledgable and had a great sense of humour. Everything was very organized and the bus trip was very comfortable.
Nikko and Kegon falls was just beautiful even in the cold. I would definitely do this tour again at a different time of year as i imagine it to be stunning and lush in Spring, Summer and Autumn. It was a day well spent.

Great stay experience

Reviewed by: Uday , 2017/05/30

Our host (Dice) was a fastastic and pleasant person. Took great care to connect even before check in until we checked out. I stayed with my family (parents and children) and they loved it.

It was like a home. Well maintained.

Very convenient location to catch a train or taxi or bus. Most importantly located very close to many tourist attractions as well. Saves time!!

Awesome tour

Reviewed by: Albert, 2017/05/16

This was a great tour. The guide was humorous and the spots were well chosen. The only downside was that I wish there was more time, because it felt like we were racing to get through as many spots as possible. If I were to visit Nikko or another "outside of Tokyo" site again, I'd probably plan to stay overnight because there is just too much to see in a single day.

A wonderful experience, well worth doing. The guide was very knowledgable and very pleasant . Lunch was fantastic! The snow, an added bonus. Freezing cold at the waterfall, but lovely. Only part I wouldn't recommend is walking up the 200 plus steps to the tomb, no view from the top and the steps were treacherous in the ice and snow.

Very nice tour! The shrine we visited (Toshogu shrine) was marvellous. The only regret is that we did not stay long enough to visit the different buildings to which we had access with the entrance ticket. The food was a nice overview of a typical japanese meal. The afternoon was dedicated to the imperial villa (nice garden and interesting house despite being mostly empty) and the sightseeing of a waterfall.

Scenic 90 minute ride to Toshogu & Rinnoji (Nikko) where you will see incredible Gates, Temples, Houses and Shrines. Good tour type lunch then to the magnificent Lake Chuzen-ji and incredible Mt Nantai. Much like Lake Tahoe in the U.S.
