Nikko World Heritage and Natural Private Luxury Tour
Full description
This is a 10-hour experience from Tokyo, built around Kegon Falls, Lake Chūzenji and Narabi Jizo. It is run by ALHADI TOURS, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Nikko, two hours north of Tokyo, is Toshogu, the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun who unified Japan in 1603: the most elaborately carved and gilded shrine in the country, with the three wise monkeys and the sleeping cat among its carvings, in a cedar forest. Beyond the town the road climbs the Irohazaka hairpins to Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, 97 metres, at their best in autumn colour in mid to late October. It is a long day trip and the shrine alone takes two hours.
The price covers Private 10-hour transportation service, Expert English-speaking driver, Comfortable van for up to 6 guests per group, Fuel and Photo & video assistance. It does not cover Entry tickets and Food/lunch, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
