  • Uncover the splendour of one of Japan's most revered World Heritage Sites, Toshogu Shrine

What to expect

Begin your adventure at either Shinjuku or Tokyo station, setting off for the renowned Nikko Toshogu. This Shinto shrine, famed for its ornate decoration, is nestled within a verdant forest, offering an atmosphere of serene beauty and spiritual significance.

From there, embark on a scenic journey up the Iroha Slope. Whether by bus or car, this mountain road with its 48 hairpin turns offers a thrilling ride. Following this, you'll be whisked away on the Akechidaira Sky Ride. This exhilarating cable car trip takes you high above the landscape, providing panoramic views of Nikko and beyond.

Your next destination is Lake Chuzenji, a tranquil high-altitude lake birthed from volcanic activity. The crystal clear waters mirror the surrounding mountains, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely boat ride or a peaceful stroll along the shore. Not far from Lake Chuzenji lies Kegon Falls, one of Japan's most celebrated waterfalls. With a drop of 97 metres, the falls are particularly striking during autumn when the adjacent forest is aflame with colour.

Conclude your day with these unforgettable experiences before returning to your original meeting point.
