Transport in Nikko

We booked a 2-night stay at Yumoto Onsen, and thankfully we bought the 4-day pass – it was such a great value! We even took the bus down the mountain to a supermarket in front of the station to stock up on some food. The scenery along the bus route was beautiful. We also visited Lake Chuzenji. It was windy and very cold in January, but the buses were frequent, and we could catch the next bus in about 20 minutes, which was very convenient. I highly recommend that travelers staying for one night or more definitely buy the 4-day pass to easily travel long distances by bus. However, if you are only planning to visit attractions near the Toshogu Shrine World Heritage Site, then buying the 2-day pass is sufficient.

The staff in Asakuasa station is very helpful.She is help us to book our express ticket as well. The pass is very useful too. It covers all the bus line in Nikko.

Our driver mr 神藤志良 is such a nice and understanding driver, we enjoyed chatting with him along the way, and he is very attentive to our needs. highly recommended if you have young kids travelling with you as it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. he recommended us nice spots and also a nice place for lunch as it was our first time in Japan. thank you so much!

I was very impressed with Next Tour's service for a 10-hour private Fuji tour. The team's coordination was excellent; they created a chat group in advance to confirm the itinerary and contact numbers. Our driver, Mr. Shrestha, arrived before the scheduled time, was very polite, and drove smoothly and safely. Even though it rained on the day of our tour and the weather wasn't ideal, making it difficult to see Mount Fuji clearly, Mr. Shrestha made an effort to take care of us and helped us check in at various spots. He communicated well in English, which made the trip very smooth. I highly recommend this service for anyone traveling to Japan with family or friends.

The unlimited pass is a great value. Just the two bus trips from Kinugawa Onsen to Yunishikawa Onsen already exceed the total value of the pass. Add in the cost of transportation to Ryuo-kyo Gorge, and you'll save a lot of money. It's very cost-effective. It also saves you the trouble of looking for change when getting off the bus, which is really convenient.
