Things to do in Nikko, Kanto: The Best Bodies of Water
The shrines and temples of Nikko have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Here, you can visit the Toshogu Shrine, which dates from the 17th century and is a monument to (and the mausoleum of) Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of a shogunate that ruled Japan for 250 years. Travelers day-tripping from Tokyo generally focus on the sacred sites, but if you have extra time, explore the area’s beautiful waterfalls and lakes.

Excellent tour and the transport arrangements organised by Toshi worked well so that we looked at much more than would otherwise have been possible, including cherry blossom which was a great thrill to see so late in May. Toshi was a very good guide from the time he met us, sorted out getting to the express train and private taxi as the bus timetable is limited at this time, and providing commentary on the way. We worked out what made a good tour for us and he then implemented it. Highly recommend Toshi.

I came here in winter and it was clowdy and cold. But the place got some atmosphere. I started to walk along the lake-side and passed the Embassy-villa area. Then i had the lake for myself. It is a great get away from the hectic Tokyo scramble.
