While in Nikko we ate delicious local cuisine (Yuba - Tofu skin), visited shrines and temples and hiked and marveled at lakes and waterfalls. If you're visiting Japan, and want to explore rural areas, be sure to include Nikko in your itinerary.

10 Things to do in Nikko Tour | Japan Travel Guide Video Transcript:
After a month in Tokyo, Nikko was everything we were hoping for! We knew we were in for a treat on the train ride over once we started seeing forests and mountains all around us and the town did not disappoint.
Nikko was the breath of fresh air we were looking for; during our visit we hiked through shrines and temples, cruised a beautiful lake at the base of a volcano, sampled some local dishes featuring tofu skin, and basically had the perfect city break.
So in this travel guide, we are going sharing some of our favourite things to do in Nikko, so you too can plan your weekend escape!
The Shinkyo Bridge you see today was constructed in 1636, but a bridge of some form has stood on this very same spot for much longer...even if its origins are a bit unclear.
Nikko is home to numerous Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. We focused our visit on the Toshogu Shrine.
Now for a quick history lesson; the Toshogu shrine is the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. This was Japan’s last feudal military government, with the shogun as its leader.
Kegon is Nikko’s most famous waterfall. It stands almost 100 meters tall and the waters that feed it comes directly from Lake Chuzenji.
We were feeling pretty hungry after all that sightseeing, so we decided to find a restaurant serving up the local specialty: yuba! Or tofu skin.
I ordered the ramen with yuba and Sam got the udon with yuba. The tofu skin was fluffy and absorbed all the flavours of the miso.
Lake Chuzenji is located at the foot of Mount Nantai. We cruised around the lake for a bit, but then got off at one of the early stops to continue onwards to Yumoto Onsen.
Yumoto is a small hot springs town that is located in part of Nikko National Park. We then enjoyed a little walk along Lake Yunoko, before hopping back on a bus to Senjougahara Moor.
The Senjogahara Marshland covers the area between Lake Chuzenji and Yumoto Onsen. It offers some great hiking opportunities within Nikko National Park.
And that’s a wrap for our Nikko travel guide! This proved to be the perfect weekend escape from Tokyo. We visited everything you see here over the course of 2 days, but this place is even better if you can come for 3 or 4 nights. Nature abounds, there are countless shrines and temples to visit, plus the local cuisine was exquisite! Now you have a few ideas of things to do around Nikko when you visit. Wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese cuisine.

FAQ:
1. When this video was taken? : The video was taken on October 21, 2022.
2. The Nikko Pass includes limited express ? : No. It only covers fare part, so you need to purchase additional tickets for reserved seats for each way. Revaty or Spacia, Spacia X.
3. Is it possible to go by regular Tobu train? : Possible but it takes time. You might not be able to do the same route as I did in this video. I recommend you to use limited express at least on the way to Nikko.
4. Where can I find bus time table? : Bus Time Table :
First, click the bus stop name in the map. Tobu Nikko is No.2. It directed to Japanese time table, and the time with 中 is to Chuzenji Onsen. All others go to Yumoto Onsen, the last stop.
5. JR Tokyo Wide Pass covers this route? JR Tokyo Wide Pass covers limited express from Shinjuku station to Tobu Nikko. It's joint serivce of JR and Nikko. It doens't cover limited express from Asakusa. The pass is 15000 yen and you can travel for 3 days, so it's good choice if you do 2-3 day trips from Tokyo.
???? Train and Ticket Information:
Tobu Line from Asakusa to Tobu Nikko. (non-JR) is convenient choice.
You can also visit by JR via Utsunomiya, but it takes longer.
You can get Tobu Marugoto Nikko Free Pass at the ticket machine at Asakusa station or
Nikko Pass (only for foreign passport holders) at Information Center in Asakusa station.

Japan (part 1) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Japan, Land Of The Rising Sun, a fascinating country with a colourful culture and history.
Tokyo is the gigantic metropolis of an exotic world with its Imperial Palace which is protected by mighty walls and wide moats, vivid proof of the former supreme power of the former Tokugawa Shoguns.
Close by, in Shiba Park, are the Zojo Ji Family Temple and the remains of the Tokugawa Clan’s cemetery. To this day, the temple has remained a place of meditation and Buddhist faith. Adjacent is Tokyo Tower that is situated on the edge of the Roppongi district and is a replica of Paris’ Eiffel Tower.
Kyoto is considered to be the cradle of Japanese culture an ancient Imperial city with twelve hundred years of history. Emperor Saga honoured the monk, Kukai, by giving him the eastern Toji Temple as the centre of Shingon Buddhism.
Nara is the birthplace of Japanese art and literature. Newly-imported Buddhism was sponsored by those who ruled and extended throughout Japan. Thus, the original religion of ancient Japan, Shinto, was confined to local sanctuaries such as at the Himuro Shrine which conserves this ancient national, cultural belief.
The National Museum exhibits important works of art from the Nara period, an exceptional collection of early Buddhist art. Centuries of almost complete isolation have formed a fascinating culture in Japan that is harmonious but at the same time rich in contrast as nowhere else.
Osaka is the second largest city and economic and administrative centre of West Japan. An old trading city with a huge castle. There’s far more, too. Japan is full of both modern and ancient surprises!

Trip from Tokyo to NIKKO, JAPAN | Places to Visit, What to Eat & Ryokan Stay ????????????
Taking you with me on a 2-day healing trip to Nikko, Japan, a small city in the mountains located 144 kilometres up north of Tokyo, and is home to some of Japan’s most enchanting nature trails, waterfalls, hot springs, zen gardens and shrines.
The fact that Nikko is located further up north means that Autumn begins earlier here. We'll start to see Autumn foliage since mid-October, making Nikko a scenic place to visit during this time. One of the biggest highlights of this town are The Shrines and Temples of Nikkō, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it comprises of 103 buildings or structures and the natural scenery that is around it. Toshogu Shrine was undeniably one of the most lavishly decorated shrines I have ever come across in Japan, from its wooden carvings, vibrant colours and hints of gold.
Although what I've filmed would not be able to capture the true beauty of this town fully, in this vlog, I hope to show you some things to do/places to visit/eat in Nikko (not only in Autumn, but throughout the whole year), as well as places to view the beautiful Autumn Foliage. I hope you enjoy this vlog as much as I enjoyed editing it! ???? Hope this will be able to act as a travel guide for you if you are deciding on going on a weekend trip or day trip near from Tokyo :)

What I Think About Solo Travel | NIKKO, JAPAN
Nikko is one of the most stunning areas you can visit for only two hours from Tokyo by train.
This place has to offer beautiful waterfalls, lakes, old shrines, etc.
The views are outstanding not only in Autumn but also in Winter.
Five days before this trip, somehow, I felt like making alone time to challenge myself.
Then, I just booked a hotel & train ticket and documented my weekend getaway to this beautiful area.
In this video, I’m going to share what I’ve learned from the two-day trip. Have fun!.

Nikko (Japan) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Nikko in Japan.
North of Tokyo, and surrounded by extensive woodland, is the shrine complex of Nikko. The elegant Taiyuin-Byo Shrine uniquely combines the shrine and temple architecture of the Momayama Era. The Futarasan Shrine lies opposite, almost hidden within the hills and forests which, particularly in autumn, enchant with a blaze of vivid colour. The first Tokugawa-Shogun, Ieyasu, left precise regulations for his burial. As both an incarnation of a Buddhist and Shinto deity, the powerful ruler wanted to protect his empire even in death. Twenty years after Ieyasu‘s demise, his grandson Iemitsu assembled up to fifteen thousand craftsmen and over a hundred of the most important artists of the time. Influenced by the Chinese Kano School, and in only two years of construction, they created massive monuments on the edge of the Nikko Mountains, the complex of which comprises both a Buddhist and Shinto area. Past a five-storey pagoda and stone and bronze lanterns, the route leads to the Holy Stable. Three Wise Monkeys decorate the building which see, hear and speak no evil. For two years, craftsmen were constantly busy with construction work, design, gilding, painting and varnishing. Thus, without doubt, came into being the most powerful and magnificent temple complex in Japan. Nikko encapsulates history, highly-revered burial ground and a refuge of faith.

Nikko Day Trip: 8 Inspiring Activities to Do in Nikko | Japan Travel Guide | THE GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
Nikko (日光) is one of those places in Japan that you have to visit when you are fortunate enough to be here during the season of Autumn.
In fact, Nikko and Autumn Leaves, in Japanese known as Kouyo (紅葉), is a must go to place however, traversing the area can be a little daunting especially if it is your first time to the area or if your Japanese ability isn’t strong.
Have no fear however, Nikko is a tourist friendly destination with lots to see and it is highly advisable that if given the opportunity, stay overnight at one of the local Ryokan’s and really get that taste of Japanese world class hospitality.
But if you’re watching this, just like us, you only have a day trip to spare and so, equipped with a license, we have this guide for you especially if you are time scarce.
From Lake Chuzenji, the waterfalls at Kegon and Ryuzu, the winding roads of Irohazaka and of course, the surrounds of the Toshugu Shrine - we have you covered.
Check this guide for more information.
