Fantastic 5.0
So glad I bought the NIKKO Pass All Area. It was really convenient and saved me a lot of money. One roundtrip from Yumoto Onsen is 3800¥, almost half the price of the All Area Nikko Pass. A few things to note: 1) Busses will not accept screenshots of your NIKKO Pass so make sure you have Wi-Fi, good LTE and if not, leave the pass open on your phone so it still works even with no connection 2) Take a look at the additional benefits of the All Area pass. You can go on the Lake Chuzenji cruise multiple times as long as you have the paper cruise ticket they give you. Also looks like you get a free day use of hot spring at Nikko Astoria hotel (I haven’t done it but looks like a new nice perk). Don’t forget discounts at stores with NIKKO Pass signage though I didn’t spot any. 3) Don’t forget to buy the Tobu Express tickets linked in the Highlights section of this page. Spacia X rides was very nice if you want to be fancy. Enjoy your time in Nikko!

We decided to purchase the physical Nikko Pass after reading that WiFi in Nikko can be unstable, and it was definitely the right choice. The connection really did drop in several areas, so having the physical pass to show the bus driver every time we boarded or got off made everything smooth and stress-free. I also noticed some passengers without the pass having small issues with their IC cards, which looked a bit inconvenient. The Nikko Pass saves time, avoids confusion, and is honestly such a good deal for the number of rides and areas it covers. Just a tip: Google Maps can be unreliable in Nikko, especially with bus timings, so it’s best to arrive at stops a little early. Overall, the Nikko Pass is a must if you want convenience and a much easier day exploring.

Driver was the best driver so far we have tried here in Japan during our private transfers. He was very friendly, helpful and polite. Best thing was the car was so clean, and in superb condition. Driver also prepared seat booster for my kid so we had a very nice and comfortable trip going back to our place after a tiring but fun day at Disneyland. I highly recommend this for othet tourists going to japan with kids and senior citizen.

Very convenient. Easy to use. If you are planning to use the subway lines and JR lines on a regular basis, this pass is a must have. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience touring Mt. Fuji with David! He was incredibly friendly and kind from the moment he picked us up, and he made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable. He created a great itinerary to maximize our day trip and his knowledge of all the best viewpoints and spots around the mountain was very appreciated. We felt well-taken care of the whole time, and the photos we got were unbelievable. Highly recommend touring with David!

We had a blast, thank you Ko. He was awesome and very proactive in getting everyone together and making sure everyone was on the bus. We took a tour to Nikko and it was amazing. The weather was cold but nice. Recommend taking a trip with Ko and our bus driver was very nice too. Beautiful historical places.

Amazing! Learning and seeing the shrine and it's history made me have a better appreciation for Japan, it's culture and people. Even though it's a 2 hour train ride, worth the visit because of this.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes Edo period history, and anyone who likes to have a fun, exciting and interesting day out. Bring lots of cash as many of the gift shops and food only take cash. There are free buses from Nikko station. Have the best day!
