Nikko Day Trip from Tokyo | Toshogu Shrine & Irohazaka Road & Lake Chuzenji & Kegon Falls Day Tour (Departing from Tokyo)

Ko was our guide today and he was fantastic! I got a message from him the night before, on WhatsApp, for our tour with a picture of his face which was incredibly helpful for the meeting place in the morning as there is a lot of guides in that area. He spoke very well english and we learned a lot about the temple and Nikko! he was very kind and informed us how long we had at each location and showed us where the free viewing area is for the waterfall. If you get Ko for your guide, you will not be disappointed! Nikko itself was super incredible and has been the highlight of our trip to Japan so far! I strongly recommend visiting!

We had a lovely day out exploring Nikko and it’s charms. The excursion was so well planned out with more than enough time to enjoy each location. Our guide’s English was not particularly great so we didn’t really get too much information but his managing skills running the times for the tour were spot on. The starting point of the day is about 2:30 hs away from Tokyo, there is a quick loo stop in a beautiful lake, then plenty of time for lunch by the waterfall and the jewel of the day is the Toshogu Temple.

Out tour to Nikko today was wonderful. so much beautiful history. Ko, our tour guide made things easy.. he sent a photo of himself and where to meet the night before to us. Gave good history information. Helped direct us to locations of sights. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

The tour was such an experience, especially for some one like me who coming to Japan for the first time. The tour guide Yuma san was incredibly friendly and helpful during the entire trip. I got to learn a lot of history about Nikko, It's town, It's shrine, as well as a fun little Japanese language fact on the way to the location. I look forward to joining any future trips with Yuma san or her associates. めっちゃ楽しかったです！

Amazing experience, tour guide is kind and helpful, advised us of cooler weather in Nikko and to dress warmly. It actually snowed that day. At the end of the tour, reminded us to have a warm bath to avoid getting sick. Nikko is beautiful, would highly recommend this day tour!

A one-day trip is a bit rushed. It took about 2.5 hours to drive from Shinjuku to Lake Chuzenji, our first stop, and about two hours for the return trip. Kegon Falls might have been affected by the season; the actual view was quite different from what I expected. You could say it was energy-saving and carbon-reducing, minimalist, or perhaps more refined. Our tour guide, Michael, shared interesting facts about the history of Toshogu Shrine and the Irohazaka Winding Road during the journey. If you want to explore Nikko thoroughly, I would recommend planning a two-day trip.

Our day trip was wonderful. We departed from the meeting point on time and returned on time. It was a comfortable and safe journey. Our tour guide was very attentive and informative. We enjoyed it very much.

It was overall good experience and great for the price compared doing transfer ourselves. It didn’t follow the itinerary at all and the time was quite short even though we could have stay longer. The shrine was really big so it needs more time

we had very good comfortable Bus tour to Nikko from Tokyo. English speaking guide Mr Yong explained about the place and gave good inputs

This tour was great. Ko, our Tour Guide was fantastic. He was very informative and professional. He spoke English very well and he showed us where we needed to go and ensured we knew the departure times. We had ample time at each sight which was great. it didn’t feel rushed. Our driver was also really good. We felt safe with his driving, especially going down the winding roads. We would definitely recommend this tour. It was well organised.
