Things to do in Tochigi Prefecture

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.

many positive points, great timing and places to see, clear instructions, informative , vary nice guide and driver, wifi, charger, drinks on the bus . we didn't feel rushed enough time to see all . only sad part no autumn leaves so don't go now if u want to see them

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.

just the winter illumination at ashikaga makes it totally worth it! it is a truly magical experience, perfect for all ages. for the hitachi seaside park, make sure you check the flowering status before going. unfortunately for us the flowers were mowed in preparation for the next season, but the park still offers sand dunes, grass fields, rock garden and an amusement park.

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.

For someone that comes from Singapore and has never seen snow or Ski before, this was the best experience I have ever had yet so far! Fujiyama ski resort is about 2hours away from Shinjuku and even though it’s a small ski world, you will appreciate it if you come from a hot country like myself! Everything about the services were amazing, the coaches are very detailed when conducting the training and would ensure that we at least know how to ski and stop before letting us roam around ourselves. The weather up at Fujiyama is also perfect, not super cold for anyone wondering, but cool enough to have a blast experience! Lastly, the timing given for us felt plenty, after training and lunch, we still have about 2.5hours left to ourselves, more than enough to take some photos and enjoy the scenery. If you are in Tokyo and would like to step out of the city for a day, this is the perfect day plan for you! :D

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!
