About this experience
The Nikkō Tōshōgū and Kegon Waterfall full-day guided tour is a 10.5-hour excursion from Tokyo to Tochigi Prefecture, covering two of Japan's most significant natural and historical sites in a single day. Departing from Nishi-Shinjuku, the group travels by air-conditioned coach to Nikko, stopping first at Shinkyō Bridge, the vermilion lacquered crossing over the Daiya River that marks the threshold of Nikko's sacred precinct. The tour then continues to Nikkō Tōshōgū, the elaborate Edo-period shrine complex built in 1617 and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which serves as the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Among Tokyo attractions, few day trips combine this level of historical and natural range. After the shrine, the coach takes the famous Irohazaka Road, a winding mountain route with 48 hairpin bends and dense autumn foliage, before arriving at Kegon Waterfall, which drops nearly 100 metres from Lake Chuzenji. Free time in Nikko allows visitors to arrange their own lunch and sample local specialities such as yuba, the delicate tofu skin the region is known for. Entry to Nikkō Tōshōgū and roundtrip coach transportation are included in the booking; food and drinks are at personal expense. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
