Get ready for a full-day journey through the natural beauty and cultural treasures of Nikko, where stunning landscapes, historic sites, and iconic carvings await at every turn.
Your day begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Toshogu Shrine, a grand memorial to Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Tokugawa shogunate (entrance ticket not included). You'll discover three must-see carvings that bring the shrine to life: the Three Wise Monkeys, the Sleeping Cat (Nemuri Neko) and the Imaginary Elephants.
Next, you'll enjoy a scenic drive along Irohazaka Road, a winding mountain route famous for its panoramic views. As you ascend, you'll arrive at Lake Chuzenji, Japan's highest-altitude natural lake. No matter the season, you're in for a visual treat - rhododendrons bloom in spring, lush greenery surrounds the lake in summer, autumn paints the landscape in fiery colours, and winter wraps everything in peaceful snow.
Your journey wraps up with a visit to the breathtaking Kegon Falls, where you'll witness nature's power and beauty. This dramatic waterfall was formed when the Daiya River was diverted by ancient lava flows.
