Lake Chuzenji, a beautiful crater lake nestled at the foot of Mount Nantai. The serene waters of the lake are surrounded by lush forests and towering mountains, offering a peaceful escape from the city. Whether you choose to take a leisurely stroll along the lake’s shore or simply relax and take in the stunning natural beauty, this spot is perfect for reflection and enjoying the calm.
Kegon Falls, one of Japan’s most breathtaking waterfalls, with a height of 97 meters. The falls cascade into a deep gorge, surrounded by rich greenery, creating a stunning spectacle. The observation decks provide panoramic views of the falls, and the surrounding landscape is especially picturesque in autumn when the foliage is ablaze with color.
Shinkyo Bridge, a historically significant red bridge that crosses the Daiya River. The bridge is an important symbol of Nikko’s spiritual history, offering visitors a chance to take in the peaceful surroundings. It’s a popular photo spot, with the river and forested backdrop providing a striking contrast to the vivid red of the bridge.
Toshogu Shrine Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The shrine is renowned for its elaborate and colorful architecture, including the famous Yomeimon Gate. Take time to explore the sacred grounds, marvel at the intricate details, and learn about the rich history of the Tokugawa era.

Having a personal driver / guide for the entire day was well worth the expense. The driver / guide, Iwo, had very good english, was a good driver. The vehicle was very comfortable and immaculate. Iwo was very mindful of my limited mobility at all times no matter the various stops in the itinerary.
Take time to check the weather, if possibility of low clouds don’t go. We could not see the lake or the falls due to low clouds. Additionally guide provided very little in terms of information about location
Doshi our English speaking guide was very helpful. Hotel pickup and drop off was very convenient. Travel to Nikko was very comfortable in a spacious mini van. Value for money!!
