All Reviews for Nikko

The temple was amazing but you can easily get there by bullet train on your own. The tour is really rushed. You get very little time at every stop and feel like you missed out on a lot of things. The Japanese lunch was absolutely incredible, very tasty and a neat experience. The waterfall was a let down. They take you to the free viewing deck and you have 15mins to take photos, walk around and use the washrooms. On our way to the washroom we saw that we could have paid to go down to a lower viewing deck and face the water fall. We would have liked to do that but weren't told it was available and wouldn't have had enough time for it anyways. Go to the temple on your own, it's walkable from the train station. The waterfall is out of the way and would be tough to get to without a car rental. The guide was delightful and provided a lot of information about Japanese culture, customs and the people. Get ready for a long day on a bus. Be on time.

This tour was very good. The lunch was very good.The tour guide and driver
were very helpful.

Anyone should visit this place to understand the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Guide was very good and informative about the history, culture and overall Japanese social interaction.

the tour guide, Amy, was very helpful, polite and informative

I am very happy with their website. Clear and easy to navigate. Can be recommended, absolutely.

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 good trip lots to see very interesting and good value for the money paid the tour guide was very good and gave us lots of information

The Nikko tour element of this trip was very fun, and the long trip there was made enjoyable by our delightful guide Amy (although I still can't get the song she had us sing out of my head). The temple was beautiful and the local environment a delight.
The unguided element at Edo Wonderland was a lot of fun, and one of our group even got dragged on stage to fumble through some scripted Japanese (we still don't know what he said, but the audience found it funny). The place itself had some of the hallmarks of a tourist trap, but these were easily overlooked when charmed by the friendly staff and casual atmosphere.
Don't miss the chance to dress up and have your picture taken!

Very Good Tour

The guide i have to mention that was very nice. The day to Nikko was very nice. The story of three monkeys was very impressive for me. To Kirifuri Falls was a little bit cold beacause i was in 29 th december, but it was a spectacular view.

A must do, the drive was enjoyable too, Nikko Heritage is simply stunning

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.

Great Tour, the tour guide was very informative as were the tour guide on the other 3 discovery tours that we did. Would recommend this tour.

We had unexpected snow, which put a bit of a damper on things but still had a great day.

Fantastic tour guide! Provided lots of information about Japanese culture and experiences, which was really interesting. He was also very patient and didn't rush us and fuss like some other guides had done

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.
