Things to do in Nikko

A visit to Nikko is always enchanting; the Toshogu Shrine is truly a wonder to behold. It is absolutely an artistic masterpiece of Edo period craftsmanship.

Very well organized, clear instruction and disciplined participants also. Thanks to our tour guide Zoey (?) who explained all the destination very well and a very polite bus driver. Surely wanna take another tour with this agent

We had a lovely day out exploring Nikko and it’s charms. The excursion was so well planned out with more than enough time to enjoy each location. Our guide’s English was not particularly great so we didn’t really get too much information but his managing skills running the times for the tour were spot on. The starting point of the day is about 2:30 hs away from Tokyo, there is a quick loo stop in a beautiful lake, then plenty of time for lunch by the waterfall and the jewel of the day is the Toshogu Temple.

Present the Klook QR code at the ticket counter to receive physical tickets. This theme park is fantastic! I regret not renting a costume because it's the perfect place for magnificent photos, as the scenery truly immerses you in old Edo. The park staff are lovely. Don't miss the various shows, especially the Oiran procession (daily schedule available on the park's website). We spent the morning at Toshogu Temple, then from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the park, and that was more than enough time. A MUST-DO! Note: There's a free shuttle from Nikko JR Station. For the return trip, ask the park office to call a taxi to Kosagoe Station (1,500¥) and use your pass to return to Shimo Imaichi Station (you can take the Spacia X by reserving a Limited Express ticket via the TOBU line website – the standard ticket is included with the pass). This is the only place where you'll find customizable Daruma dolls.

It was an amazing experience. Glad that I booked this trip during winter on 20-Jan. Lake Chuzenji was amazing with the Mt Nantai as the backdrop. Kegon waterfall was mystical in winter snow. Toshogu Shrine lives up to its reputation as a UNESCO heritage site.

Omgosh! This was a long drive, but Mr. Jhon was amazing. We had a random stop for Potty Break and found some unique snacks. Hakone is so beautiful and green in June. The weather was perfect and we saw Mt. Fuji so many times.

This tour is spectacular. If you come to Tokyo, you absolutely must set aside a day for this tour. The guide is incredible, alternating between Spanish and English, which makes it very dynamic, the best I've ever seen! We are leaving very happy with this experience, 100% recommended. Everyone should do this tour. Thank you for this amazing day!

had an amazing trip to Nikko. The tour guide JEFFREY has been very attentive to passengers needs. i personally requested a front seat due to dizziness spell on long journey, he planned out and put me in front seat.

This time, I arranged a day trip to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and the overall experience is truly worth sharing! ✨ It takes about 2 hours to get there from Tokyo, and the scenery along the way transforms from urban to mountainous, which is very therapeutic. Toshogu Shrine itself was even more magnificent than I imagined, especially the intricate details of the "Sleeping Cat" and "Three Wise Monkeys" carvings. You can truly feel the impact of history and craftsmanship. The grounds are quite extensive, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. It takes about 2–3 hours to explore at a leisurely pace. The cedar forests along the path are spectacular, and the air is fresh. The overall atmosphere has a solemn yet peaceful feel. However, it can get quite crowded on weekends, so you might have to wait a bit to take photos. I suggest arriving early to avoid the crowds for a more pleasant experience. Overall, Nikko Toshogu Shrine is not just a tourist attraction; it's more like an immersive cultural and historical experience. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Japan for the first time or those who appreciate historical architecture. 👍
