Itinerary

  • Lake Chuzenji

    Lake Chuzenji is Japan’s highest natural lake, located just west of Nikko and is part of the Nikko National Park. It formed about 20,000 years ago when neighboring Mt. Nantai erupted and its lava flow dammed the Daiyo River. The lake tips the altitude scales at 1,269 meters.

    30 minutes

  • Kegon Falls

    Kegon Falls is a 97-meter high waterfall that lies in Nikko city. The water from the Chuzenji Lake feeds the fall. Visitors to Kegon Falls, which is one of the three highest waterfalls in Japan, can use an elevator to enjoy the powerful falls.

    1 hour

  • Akechidaira Observation Area

    Akechidaira is located on top of the Nikko Daini Irohazaka Route. From there, visitors can take a ropeway up to an observation deck where they can enjoy a breathtaking view of Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, and Mt. Nantaisan.

    30 minutes

  • Nikko Tosho-gu

    World Heritage site.

Nikko tour a perfect day Customizable, Relaxing, and Truly Unforgettable!

Published on May, 2025

We had an absolutely amazing experience on our private Nikko tour with Hussain. From the very beginning, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. If you’re looking for a relaxing, fully customizable, and stress-free way to explore this beautiful area of Japan, I highly recommend this tour. Hussain, our guide, was right on time and welcomed us warmly. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the entire day even more enjoyable. His explanations about the history, culture, and landmarks of Nikko added a deeper layer to every place we visited. You can really tell he loves what he does — and it shows in the way he takes care of his guests. One of the things we appreciated most was the flexibility of this Nikko tour. Hussain tailored the itinerary to fit our preferences and gave great suggestions along the way. There was no rush — we could enjoy each site at our own pace. From the magnificent Toshogu Shrine to the peaceful Lake Chuzenji and the powerful Kegon Falls, every stop was a highlight. The vehicle was comfortable and spotless, and we always felt relaxed. Hussain even helped us take photos and made sure we were always comfortable and well-informed. It truly felt like we were being shown around by a local friend, not just a guide. Overall, I’m beyond satisfied with this Nikko tour experience. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, cultural learning, and peaceful nature. If you want a day trip that is easy, enjoyable, and rich in experiences, book this tour — you won’t regret it. Thank you, Hussain, for making our day in Nikko so memorable. Highly recommended!

Wonderful day in Nikko!

We had Nabeel as our tour guide two days earlier for a tour of Kamakura, and he was fantastic. To our surprise, he was also our guide for a Nikko tour. It was such a pleasure to have him again, and he was just as accommodating as he was during our previous tour. Nabeel took us to all the popular tourist spots, as well as some hidden gems off the beaten path. We even ended our tour at a robot restaurant, which was an amazing experience. I highly recommend spending a day with Nabeel as your tour guide; he will not disappoint!

Nikko Private Tour: Natural Beauty of Lakes & Waterfalls + History & Culture of World Heritage Site Temples and Shrines!

Published on Apr, 2025

This private customized tour of the Nikko region is a great contrast to the expansive urban center of Tokyo. A drive into the mountains north of Tokyo opened up the quiet serene splendor of the mountains. On the way to Nikko, there is a stop for a ropeway taking you to a 1300 meter observation deck for an aerial view of the Uriam Falls. Nikko contains Lake Chuzenji and a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and the gateway to Nikko National Park. One not to miss stop in the Park is Kegon Falls cascading from Lake Chuzenji, where you take an elevated 100 meters down to the base for incredible photos and videos of its beauty! Included in Nikko area are an abundance of temples and shrines, is the Futarasan Shrine and Rinoji Temple complex, a World Heritage Site, all set in the midst of conifer forests of beech, oak, maple and cedar trees. As you visit the multiple adorned buildings and the beauty of the Shoyoen Garden in this setting, you can appreciate the importance of this site to the Japanese people and travelers alike. Hussain as our guide was very professional, and he shared information that helped you understand the significance of the setting of Nikko culture and history of knowledgeable about the city and surrounding areas. Importantly, he was fluent and easily conversed in English and could have conversations in Japanese if further interaction with staff at the sites was necessary. Hussain was very personable, polite, considerate and did what was necessary to make our tour even better as the day progressed. Nikko is a must see experience when visiting the greater Tokyo area!!
