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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
