Tokyo to Nikko

Where sacred forests meet mountain water.

Nikko rewards a private-car journey with a rare contrast of ornate World Heritage shrines, cedar forests and alpine scenery. Your driver creates a calm route between Toshogu, Rinnoji, Shinkyo Bridge, Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, while multi-day options allow time to continue toward Yokohama's harbourfront on the return side of the journey.

Nikko Toshogu

The lavishly decorated shrine complex associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu and recognised within Nikko's World Heritage site.

Shinkyo Bridge

The vermilion bridge at the sacred gateway to Nikko's shrine and temple district.

Lake Chuzenji

A highland lake beneath Mt. Nantai, forming the heart of Nikko's Okunikko landscape.

Kegon Falls

A 97-metre waterfall dropping from Lake Chuzenji, surrounded by seasonal mountain scenery.

Tokyo departure itineraries

From Nikko's sacred heights to a Tokyo-area return.

All plans begin and end in Tokyo. The longer options add Yokohama after Nikko so the mountain and harbour experiences each have their own time.
