Highlights
Begin your journey with a comfortable pickup from Tokyo or Shinjuku Station before setting out for the sacred wonders of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend three hours exploring this magnificent complex of 55 buildings, including 8 National Treasures and 34 Important Cultural Properties. Marvel at the elaborate Yomeimon Gate, adorned with over 500 detailed carvings, and discover beloved symbols like the Three Wise Monkeys, the Sleeping Cat, and the Imaginary Elephants, each carrying deep cultural meaning.
From there, wind your way along the dramatic Irohazaka Road, famous for its 48 sharp curves and breathtaking mountain vistas, especially magical during autumn when the slopes are ablaze with fiery colors. Continue to Lake Chuzenji, Japan’s highest natural lake, where each season paints the scenery in different hues—from spring blossoms to winter snow. End your adventure at the powerful Kegon Falls, where waters from Lake Chuzenji plunge 99 meters into the Daiya River, framed by 12 graceful side streams. After a day filled with history, culture, and nature’s grandeur, return to Tokyo with unforgettable memories.

Traffic going out and coming back to Tokyo was slow as US President Trump was in town. Overall great tour!
Itinerary schedule on Pelago is not reflective of actual day itinerary schedule, was not able to attend experience as the timing was an entire hour off. Support from Pelago is horrible no response and update since filing an update have been waiting for 9 days before sending this review in.
No regrets booking the Nikko day trip, as it would have been hard to bring our family out that far out of Tokyo if not for a tour. We were in good hands with Zachary who was humourous and bilingual in English and Mandarin, and the driver Mr Tanetaka who made it through the 48 sharp curves with skill and expertise. The weather turned quite chilly and foggy which made it a bit hard to see Kegon Falls, but we enjoyed taking photos of the leaves which were starting to turn red and orange around Lake Chuzenji.
