Activity itinerary

Nikko Tosho-gu
  • 2h
Nikkō Tōshōgū Shrine is a lavishly decorated UNESCO World Heritage site dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Nestled in a forested area of Nikkō, the shrine complex features richly carved gates, colorful buildings, and the famous “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkey carvings. Its ornate Yomeimon Gate and tranquil surroundings make it one of Japan’s most spectacular and historically important shrines.
Shinkyo Bridge
  • 1h
Shinkyo Bridge is a striking vermilion-lacquered bridge that gracefully spans the Daiya River at the entrance to Nikkō’s sacred shrines and temples. Considered one of Japan’s most beautiful bridges, it contrasts vividly with the surrounding forest and mountains. Traditionally used only by imperial messengers, it now serves as a symbolic gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Nikkō.
Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Nikkō Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park is a beautifully preserved former imperial residence that blends traditional Edo architecture with modern Meiji and Taishō styles. Once a retreat for the imperial family, the villa features elegant tatami rooms, ornate halls, and tranquil gardens surrounded by cedar trees. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into Japan’s imperial history and refined lifestyle in a serene natural setting.
Lake Chuzenji
  • 1h 30m
Lake Chūzenji is a scenic crater lake at the foot of Mount Nantai, formed by a volcanic eruption nearly 20,000 years ago. Surrounded by mountains, it offers cool breezes in summer and stunning autumn foliage, making it a popular retreat from Tokyo. Visitors can enjoy boat cruises, lakeside walks, and views of the iconic Kegon Falls nearby.
Kegon Falls
  • 1h 30m
Kegon Falls is one of Japan’s most famous waterfalls, plunging 97 meters from Lake Chūzenji into a dramatic gorge. Surrounded by lush greenery in summer and brilliant foliage in autumn, it offers breathtaking views year-round. Visitors can admire the falls from free observation decks or take an elevator down to a lower viewing platform for a closer look at its powerful beauty.
Tobu World Square
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Tobu World Square is a unique theme park in Nikkō that showcases over 100 detailed miniature replicas of world-famous landmarks at 1/25 scale. From the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty to the Pyramids of Egypt and Japan’s own Tokyo Skytree, the models are crafted with remarkable precision. The park also features seasonal flowers and illuminations, making it both educational and entertaining for visitors of all ages.
