5.Nikko Day Tour Shrines, Lake Chūzenji & Kegon Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews

See Nikko’s shrines, Lake Chūzenji, Kegon Falls, and Edo Wonderland on a private 10-hour tour from Tokyo with hotel pickup.

“We had a wonderful day trip to Nikko with Umer. He suggested starting at 7 am to avoid Tokyo traffic, and thanks to his planning everything went smoothly. Coming from Shibuya it still took about 2.5 hours each way, so I recommend choosing a location with easier access to gain more time at the destination. Umer was upfront about time expectations and managed the itinerary very well, ensuring we could enjoy most of the highlights without feeling rushed. He’s not only a skilled and safe driver, but also very attentive and professional, which made the whole experience comfortable, enjoyable, and truly memorable.Read more”
