This entire trip was beyond beautiful, the Togoshu Shrine is marvelous and with such a great history behind it, the bridge, falls and lake are breathtaking views, the food was delicious also, we tried the yuuba soba and udon, I would like to specially thank TINA, our guide during this trip, she was so kind and fun, she gave us all the information about the Shrine and every place we visited and she went above and beyond to make our day special, thank you so so much, memories for a lifetime

The Nikko experience was great. The tour guide (Zach) was friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. It was wonderful to see the beautiful prefecture of Nikko, a very laid-back and refreshing place to visit if you’re staying in Tokyo. Highly recommended.

"I had a wonderful time on the Nikko day trip today! The scenery was breathtaking and the itinerary was well-organized, but what truly made this experience 5-stars was the exceptional service from our guide/driver, Jeffrey.
I accidentally left my power bank and AirPods on the bus when I departed at Shinjuku. I was so worried, but I managed to call Jeffrey and he was incredibly helpful. Even though his shift was likely ending, he kept my belongings safe and coordinated with me to meet at Tokyo Station since I had already gotten off. He waited for me there to ensure I got my items back safely.
It’s rare to find someone so honest and willing to go the extra mile for a guest. Jeffrey truly saved my day! I highly recommend this tour—not just for the beautiful sights of Nikko, but for the peace of mind knowing you are in such kind and professional hands. Thank you so much, Jeffrey!"

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.

In a word, this tour exceeded expectations. As a solo traveler, I was hesitant to rent a car, so I looked for other options and found this day trip. Despite the long distance, I was able to leisurely explore the highlights of Nikko. The final onsen experience was like a gift, perfect for relieving fatigue. I felt that it would have been good to extend the time, even if it meant shortening the time at Kegon Falls. Even though there were Taiwanese, American, and Korean travelers mixed together, the guide took care of each of us in our own languages, making it a completely comfortable trip. I would like to express my gratitude to guide Heo Mi-yeong. I would love to do this kind of trip again.

It was a long ride to Ibaraki from Shinjuku for this tour, but it totally worth it . We visited the said places of interest and the Kochias from Hitachi seaside park is not to be missed. We are thankful that we have our guide, Gilbert, he is knowledgeable and manage the guests' expectations tactfully. Yes, it was a great day out in this tour!

Driver Liu was very accommodating and understanding. As im bringing an elderly along, he is very patient and help us find places with slops and lifts. Pick up and drop off was timely as well. Will definitely book again when i come to Tokyo!

Doing Nikko on your own is possible, but taking a tour was the best decision we made. They tell you the history, you don't struggle with logistics, they kept an eye on the group because there are always those who are late, you can ask questions, and they give you recommendations.
