Good bus day tour to get out of Tokyo and into some mountains. - Ken was a great tour guide. The Futarasan-jinja Haiden shrine was amazing to see and it's not hard to understand why it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Kegon Falls and Chuzenji Lake were also beautiful. The Irohazaka roadway was interesting to ride on and I am amazed at the skill of the bus driver on some of those tight turns. Definitely recommend the tour. Things to be aware of, there are 200+ steps at the shrine site so be aware you will be going up stairs. There is still some walking for the tours, but it's also not a super large amount. Lunch was good, but it would have been helpful to have instructions on how to eat it for non-Japanese participants. Overall a great tour to see the mountains of Japan and not just be in the city of Tokyo.

Must-see tour of Nikko, a perfect blend of history and stunning natural beauty of Japan. - Nikko is a must-see tour that explores great historical significance of the first shogun of Japan and it unlocks many secrets of the famous Toshogu shrine. If that wasn’t enough, the tour takes visitors to a stunning volcanic mountain lake and a second largest waterfall in Japan. It is a truly transporting experience, and please don’t forget to visit a sacred chamber to hear the amazing crying dragon, as well as take the elevator down for a nominal fee to see and hear Kegon waterfall up close (free platform viewing is also great, but the view from elevator station below is simply unforgettable). The tour guide provided most informative and interesting narration, and he was highly responsive to specific questions and needs. I highly recommend this tour, and while I was in Japan solo on business this time, I hope for a family vacation in Japan and we’ll definitely go on this wonderful Nikko tour.
