Escape Tokyo for a day of discovery on our comfortable private coach departing from Shinjuku. Led by an expert English-speaking guide, you will visit the UNESCO-listed Toshogu Shrine, Japan’s most opulent National Treasure. Admire its intricate gold-leaf carvings and the tomb of the legendary Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu while learning the stories that shaped Japanese history.
Between landmarks, enjoy a refined culinary experience with a traditional Shojin Buddhist lunch, featuring Nikko’s famous local specialty, Yuba.
The adventure continues to the breathtaking Kegon Falls, where water plunges 100 meters into the valley below. You will relax by the serene shores of Lake Chuzenji at the foot of Mt. Nantai, a landscape framed by historic embassies and spiritual heritage.
This tour offers a seamless, non rushed pace, blending premium transport with deep cultural immersion.
