Our guide was friendlypatient, and explained the history and culture in a very simple and interesting way. ToshoguShrine was absolutely beautiful, and the scenery around Nikko was peaceful and refreshing. Traveling by private car made easy especially with kids and elders in the family.

Overall, it was one of the best experiences during our Japan trip. Highly recommended for families visiting Tokyo who want a relaxing and memorable day tour.
