Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Nikko, Kanto

May 22, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

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.

This main gate was so impressive. It is very beautiful and spend some time to check out the details of the sculptures.

Kammangafuchi Gorge

Reviewed By kandilistk - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Decided to take a detour here today as it was too foggy to see the Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji, Kammangafuchi Gorge is a good place to relax and enjoy nature. Kammangafuchi Gorge is about a 20mins walk from the shrines and while enjoying the walk by the river, you’ll definitely see the main highlight of the area which are the rows of Jizo statues that are line up on one side of the gorge. Worth visiting the area after visiting the shrines.

It's just a bridge, on the entrance to the toshogu temple. Underneath you can see the clear water of the river. The autumn scenery make the experience very nice.

To avoid rushing, you may want to consider to spend a night stay at Nikko as we stayed at Tokyo and hence 1 way train travel already taken up 2 hour (excluding shuttle bus to the Wonderland). You get to "travel back" Edo' s period & opt to rent Edo's customes. There are variety of traditional games & experiences for you to explore. Do miss trying Karakuri Ninja Maze & Kai Kai Ninja House! Last but not least, you will find yourself busy in taking photos! The scenery was amazing during Winter!
