Activity itinerary

Nikko Tosho-gu
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Discover the grandeur of Toshogu Shrine, a magnificent tribute to Tokugawa Ieyasu, architect of Japan's Tokugawa Shogunate, which reigned for over 250 years until 1868. Here, Ieyasu is venerated as Tosho Daigongen, the "Great Deity of the East Shining Light." Originally a simple mausoleum, Toshogu was transformed into the breathtaking complex we see today by Ieyasu's grandson, Iemitsu, in the 17th century. With intricate architecture and serene surroundings, Toshogu stands as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and enduring legacy.
Shinkyo Bridge
  • 1h
Embrace the charm of the Shinkyo Bridge, an iconic landmark welcoming visitors to the revered shrines and temples of Nikko. Belonging to the Futarasan Shrine, this historic bridge holds a prestigious position among Japan's top three bridges, alongside Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture. Dating back to 1636, the current Shinkyo stands as a testament to ancient craftsmanship, although its origins trace even further back into history, shrouded in mystery. Once restricted to the public until 1973, the bridge underwent extensive restoration in the late 1990s and early 2000s, allowing visitors to stroll across its majestic expanse for a nominal entrance fee. Experience the allure of this architectural marvel as you traverse its elegant arches and marvel at its serene surroundings. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Nikko as you walk across the Shinkyo Bridge, a symbol of reverence and heritage that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
Kegon Falls
  • 1h
Discover the breathtaking Kegon Falls, standing proud as Nikko's most renowned cascade. Revered as one of Japan's top three stunning waterfalls, alongside Nachi Waterfall in Wakayama Prefecture and Fukuroda Waterfall in Ibaraki Prefecture, Kegon's nearly 100-meter plunge captivates visitors with its sheer grandeur. As the sole outlet for the waters of Lake Chuzenji, Kegon Falls offers mesmerising views from both a free observation platform, easily accessible on foot, and a paid platform at the waterfall's base. Accessible via a 100-meter deep lift, the paid platform treats visitors to even more awe-inspiring vistas. For a panoramic perspective, head to the Akechidaira Observatory, reachable by ropeway from the Akechidaira Plateau. Here, soak in the mesmerising sight of Kegon Falls cascading into Lake Chuzenji, creating a scene of natural splendour that's particularly breathtaking during the vibrant autumn foliage season, typically from mid to late October.
Lake Chuzenji
  • 1h
Nestled above Nikko lies Lake Chuzenji, a scenic wonder formed by Mount Nantai's ancient eruption. With its shores mostly forested, save for the eastern end's Chuzenji Onsen town, it's a haven for tranquility. Here, the famous Kegon Waterfall roars nearby, alongside the majestic Ryuzu Waterfall. In autumn, the lake explodes with vibrant colours, drawing photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. Its high elevation ensures cool summers, a draw for foreign embassies who built villas here. Hike its 25-kilometer perimeter or cruise its waters for a serene escape. Opt for the Chuzenjiko Skyline for panoramic views, a former toll road now open for all to enjoy.
Nikko National Park
  • 1h
Explore the natural wonders of Nikko National Park, a pristine sanctuary nestled in the majestic mountains of Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Spanning over 1,200 square kilometres, this expansive park is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, dense forests, and sacred sites that have attracted visitors for centuries. At the heart of the park lies the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Nikko, a historic town steeped in cultural significance. Here, ancient shrines and temples, including the iconic Toshogu Shrine and Rinnoji Temple, coexist harmoniously with nature, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich spiritual heritage. Venture further into the park to discover serene lakes, picturesque waterfalls, and meandering rivers that punctuate the verdant landscape. Lake Chuzenji, formed by volcanic activity, captivates with its tranquil waters and surrounding autumn foliage, while Kegon Falls cascades dramatically into the depths below.
