  • Tour Details
1. A sacred place for Japan's mountain worship, Nikko is home to the "Shrines and Temples of Nikko," a registered World Heritage Site. On this tour, walk around World Heritage component sites such as Nikko Toshogu Shrine together with a National Government Licensed English Guide Interpreter. This is a walking tour where customers will be walking for approximately 5 km.

2. A noteworthy spot off the beaten path in Nikko, Kanmangafuchi Abyss has been gaining a rise in popularity among international visitors. It features approximately 70 statues of Jizo, a bodhisattva who cares for travelers and protects children, lined up along the gorge, and exudes a solemn and quiet atmosphere different from the temple and shrine areas.
*In the winter season (around December to mid-March), as it may be difficult to ensure safety due to freezing of roads to Kanmangafuchi Abyss or other reasons, the tour will be guided to Futarasan Shrine, Taiyuuin Mausoleum at Rinno-ji Temple, Tamozawa Imperial Villa, or Nikko Botanical Gardens instead. Thank you for your understanding. 

3. In small groups, customers go on a tour course while listening to explanations in English about Nikko's history, culture, and faith, allowing them to understand more about the magnificent buildings and sculptures from the Edo period (1603-1868).
【2025/01/01～】While congestion is expected at the location, an audio service with which explanations from the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter can be heard will be available.

4. For lunch, a Japanese-style meal will be served.
*Lunch on this plan will be a standard menu meal. For those who would like a vegetarian meal, please be sure to book the corresponding plan instead.
