Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Kegon Waterfall - Full-Day Tour - Tokyo

Depart from Tokyo and travel to the historic city of Nikko, known for its beautiful nature and rich cultural heritage. Your first stop is the iconic Shinkyo Bridge, one of Japan’s most famous sacred bridges. Admire its striking red structure standing gracefully over the river and learn about its historical connection to the spiritual traditions of Nikko.

Continue to the magnificent Nikkō Tōshō-gū, a UNESCO World Heritage site dedicated to the Tokugawa shogunate founder. Explore the richly decorated shrine complex, famous for its intricate carvings, colorful buildings, and the well-known “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkey carvings.

Next, visit the spectacular Kegon Falls, one of Japan’s most celebrated waterfalls. With a drop of nearly 100 meters, the powerful cascade offers impressive scenery throughout the year, especially during the autumn foliage season.

Your journey continues to the serene Lake Chūzenji, a beautiful mountain lake formed by volcanic activity. Enjoy a short stop to take in the peaceful views of the surrounding mountains before returning comfortably to Tokyo by bus.
