Tochigi Prefecture

It was a very nice and memorable trip. We were fortunate to experience both rain and snow, which made the journey even more unique and exciting. Each destination had its own charm, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, clear, and engaging in explaining the history and details of the resorts, which helped us appreciate each place even more. Overall, it was a wonderful and enjoyable experience.

Great experience had so much fun. They were very communicative with emails to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Yusuke picked my son and me up, very punctual and convenient. Along the way to the venue, he was very conversational and gave us interesting facts throughout the ride. He took us to a convenient store to make sure we had food and snacks. We arrived and watched the people drift around the track. He allowed us to soak in all the excitement of the track. The sounds, cars, and atmosphere made it very memorable. We took a total of three rides and it was super fun. My son said it was the most exciting part of our japan trip. The drivers were very professional, safe, and highly skilled. After we were done he shared some of the photos and videos that he took. I appreciate that so much. Thanks for the experience. Yusuke was super cool and an amazing host, and thanks again for being amazing making it so personal. I would do this again with matenro drift racing again.

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

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 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.

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!

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.
