Full description

Tōshō-gū Shrine

Located in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Tōshō-gū Shrine is the main shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Renowned for its gold-adorned architecture and historical significance, it includes iconic structures such as the Meiyō Gate and Karamon Gate. The shrine is famous for the “Three Wise Monkeys” carving and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

Irohazaka Mountain Road

Recognized as one of Japan’s “100 Selected Roads,” this scenic 15.8 km mountain pass connecting Nikko City and Lake Chuzenji features 48 iconic curves. It is especially popular in autumn when the route is blanketed in vivid red and gold foliage.

Mashōdai Skyline Cable Car & Observation Deck

Take a short ride on the cable car to reach the observation deck perched at 1,373 meters above sea level. The view offers sweeping vistas of Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, particularly stunning during peak autumn color.

Lake Chuzenji

Formed by volcanic activity, this is Japan’s highest natural lake. The peaceful surroundings offer different charms in every season—from spring azaleas to vibrant autumn leaves—making it a favorite for photographers and nature lovers.

Kegon Falls

Kegon Falls is one of Japan’s top three waterfalls, plunging 99 meters and surrounded by brilliant seasonal foliage. It’s a centerpiece of Nikko National Park and a breathtaking sight that embodies the beauty of Japan’s natural landscape.

Reviews

“Couldn’t use the gondola ride because of the bad weather, but apart from that it was a great trip. Guide Jeffery was supremely helpful and polite. Had a great time.”

“Pickup and drop-off were on time. The guide was very polite.”

“The colors of the foliage were a close second to the temple visit and third to the ropeway. A long day, but well worth it.”
