“Great trip with guide and driver .A full day in a comfortable 9 seater van for 6 of us .It is worth requesting the larger van so you can swap around .especially going to Nikko as it takes a while between 2-3 hours .The express way was blocked so they took us another way through some of the back area which was great as got to see the types of houses etc .We left at 800 am from tokyo and back about 730 pm but worth it if you only have the day .there were 3 couples so the extra room great .We booked from the cruise terminal .they fit…”

“We took Yujin Tours ”day to Nikko” because of the outstanding reviews on Viator about their *deeply knowledged* guides. To start, the driver picked us up 1:40 hours late. So the tour started at 9:40 A.M. Considering it gets dark at 5 P.M., it was not possible to go to the falls Read more”
