Passeios por Lake Chūzenji

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.

This one-day tour was exceptional, and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Sophie, was wonderful—attentive, patient, and very well-organized with the itinerary. She introduced Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Japanese culture with humor and wit, making her explanations equally engaging in both English and Chinese. Every place we visited was beautiful. This trip became the most memorable experience for our whole family! Highly recommended!

Our 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. He gave good historical information and helped direct us to the sights. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

This was such a great tour. We were a small group, which made everything more personal. Tadashi (I hope I remember your name correctly) told us so much about Nikko. He even taught us some Japanese and talked about religious and historical facts during our bus ride. His voice was also very soothing, which made it, especially after walking a lot, difficult to stay awake on the bus. ;) The only problem was the size of the bus. If you are very tall, you didn't have much space for your legs. But fortunately, the bus wasn't full, so we could sit on separated seats.

A lot of driving but you know that going into this tour. the temple area was so stunning and really cool to see so many temples in one area

Our tour guide Zachary was the best, so we had the best time and tour at Nikko. Everything was great: the places, the food, and the memories. Our driver was good too.

This time, I arranged a day trip to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and the overall experience is truly worth sharing✨ It takes about 2 hours to get there from Tokyo, and the scenery along the way changes from urban to mountainous, which is very therapeutic. Toshogu Shrine itself is more magnificent than I imagined, especially the intricate carving details of "Sleeping Cat" and "Three Wise Monkeys" are exquisite, allowing one to fully appreciate the shock of history and craftsmanship. The park area is quite large, so it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes. It takes about 2-3 hours to explore leisurely. The cedar forest along the way is spectacular, and the air is very fresh. The overall atmosphere has a solemn yet tranquil feeling. However, there are indeed many people on holidays, so you might have to wait a bit to take photos. It's recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowds for a more comfortable experience. Overall, Nikko Toshogu Shrine is not just a tourist attraction; it's more like an immersive cultural and historical experience. It's highly recommended for those visiting Japan for the first time or those who enjoy historical architecture to include it in their itinerary👍

Unser Besuch in Nikko war dank unseres Reiseleiters ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Wir machten einen Spaziergang und besuchten viele Schreine. Über 6 Stunden lang führte uns Ichi geduldig durch die beeindruckenden Stätten und erweckte die Geschichte und Kultur dieses Ortes auf faszinierende Weise zum Leben. Sein Fachwissen und sein umfassendes Wissen bereicherten unseren Tag wirklich. Wir können Ichi wärmstens empfehlen!
