Things to do in Tochigi Prefecture

My brothers and I just did this today. and it was so much fun! Tracey was the best! he gave us so much useful information and really took his time explaining and making sure everyone understood, and constantly checking on us to make sure we were having fun and enjoying our time, he was seriously the best and we would definitely be doing this again when we come back.

i joined the tour because I was travelling by myself and was happy that I booked it! Our guide, Arlene, did a great job providing historical information of the places we visited, and was engaging. She was also well organized and made sure everyone was informed about the tour plan the night before our trip. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend!

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.

Hello, Guide Kim Young-jun, thank you. I came on a trip from Korea and wanted to see Mount Fuji, so I took a day trip with you. Thanks to Guide Kim Young-jun's kind explanations and the consideration of the Korean and Chinese people, although I couldn't see Mount Fuji completely, I still got great photos at Oshino Hakkai thanks to your well-adjusted schedule. I went to Kamakura with GoGo yesterday, and I'm leaving for Nikko today. Guide Kim Young-jun, thank you again for giving me a happy time ^^

This was a well organized, fun and easy day tour. There were 37 participants on the bus, but it didn’t feel hectic at all. The pace was perfect. We arrived a little late for the peak leaf season, which would be in early November. Had a good time nonetheless. Plenty affordable options to choose from for lunch at the waterfall park.

The bus had nice big windows to see the landscape views. Throughout the tour the tour guides, Jeffery and Ashley, were very attentive. Ashley was able to explain the sites in 3 languages and recommended a great restaurant for lunch. Even though we got lost and delayed our departure time, the tour guides were able to reach us and redirect us to the bus in a timely manner. Shoutout to the bus driver for the smooth ride down the curvy mountain roads 👍

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!

To avoid any issues, the best thing to do is purchase your entrance ticket to the Toshogu Shrine, a World Heritage Site since 1999, in advance. Nearby, you also have the Futarasan Shrine and Rinnoji Temple, where you can witness the fire ceremony if you wish, which is very unique and interesting.

The animal kingdom isn't very large, but there are many different animals in the park. Animal lovers shouldn't miss it! The kitten show is especially great, but be aware that it gets full, so go line up a little earlier. 👍
