Things to do in Nikko

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.

The Nikko tour was well worth it for a day trip from Tokyo, with scenic views and a very rustic mountain vibe. Our guide, Ko, was knowledgeable and explained the history and culture of Japan and the sites we visited in a very succinct and informative manner. He was very accommodative to my last minute schedule changes where I had to leave the tour early and helped greatly in navigating all the sites to maximise my time and enjoyment.

Prior to the trip, our tour leader, Mizki (Xiao Bo), confirmed the itinerary details via messaging apps and email. On the day of the trip, due to heavy rain, we couldn't ride the cable car, so we made a last-minute change to the Kegon Falls elevator to make up for this minor disappointment. Along the way, Mizki provided detailed explanations of the historical background and features of the attractions in both Chinese and English. Since the tour didn't include meals, she also recommended good local snacks to the group, making sure everyone had something to eat and drink to avoid getting hungry during the long drive. Our driver, Mr. Wang, was very kind and courteous, and his driving skills were excellent. As someone who has only traveled independently for over twenty years, this was my first time participating in a group day tour. Overall, it was a great travel experience, and I would consider this type of tour again in the future.

We had a fantastic day trip to Nikko and Kegon Waterfall arranged by Tina yesterday! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Tina made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying every moment. Her warm personality, attention to detail, and clear explanations in English made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend any trip planned by her!

Really nice autumn colors near kegon falls and chuzenji lake. I enjoyed even the bus ride due to the scenic view. Amazed by the bus driver’s driving skills. Tour guide is great, lots of stories, and tell jokes sometimes, which makes the tour fun.

We've taken 3 excursions through Klook, and on one of them, we were even forced to leave a positive review and take a photo proving we did it. In this case, I'm giving it 5 stars, and if I could, I'd give it 10. Jorge was a splendid guide; he speaks 5 languages. On top of that, he came around to each of us on the bus to talk about whatever we wanted. It was something I'd never seen before. In our case, we talked to him a bit about his life and the history of this temple. It's one of the most positive experiences I've ever had. Putting aside how great the guide is, Nikko is amazing, both the waterfall area and the temple. So far, it's the best I've seen in Japan.

We had a very enjoyable excursion to Nikko from Tokyo with Ko and Chen. Chen was a safe, conscientious driver on the curvy mountain roads which I appreciated as a passenger. Ko was both efficient and accommodating while being an informative guide. We would recommend this outing highly as it is a great day trip from Tokyo to see some of the most beautiful landscapes and landmark architecture.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, meticulously crafted with gilded splendor, magnificent and grand, a must-visit cultural and artistic palace. Experience: You must exchange your ticket at the station first. You must use the app; screenshots are not allowed. Station staff will check.

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!
