Would not hesitate recommending ExplorJapan for a private day trip to the Nikko region! Their itinerary worked out great starting at the lake and falls and ending at the Toshugu temple area as we were ahead of the tour buses! Our driver/guide, Ryu, was excellent, both driving and explaining everything we were seeing. He quickly picked up on our activity level and guided as accordingly. Communication was seamless and they promptly answered all my questions.
