Welcome dear travel fans! I've been traveling around the world for 20 years and most of my trips were to Asia. I think I have been crazy about Japan since I was a child and will be happy to share this passion with you.

Additional information

Explore the beautiful attractions around Nikko, a place of natural beauty and World Heritage Sites. It is an amazing park with a lot of things to see.

There are 3 sections of the Park that you can choose to visit. And you must take a Tobu Bus to go to those places.

Section 1 is from Nikko station to Bus stop #26.

Section 2 is from Bus stop #26 to 35

Section 3 is from Bus stop 35 to beyond

Most people go to section 1 with lots of sightseeing like shrines, temples and a big lake (where you can board a boat cruise)

Section 2 and 3 are less people but more romantic if you are a couple and want more romantic time together.

Opening hours: from 10 am to 5 pm between March & October, from 10 am to 4:30 pm between November and February

It’s highly recommended to get an early train from Tokyo as many visitors visit Nikko late in the morning.
