We had rain. But these guys just like all Japanese do a great job.

I enjoyed this tour very much. We certainly visited during a heavy crowd due to Golden Week, but the facilities are truly remarkable in spite of the crowds. Don't expect a small group and be prepared for Tokyo traffic coming back. I do wish the tour spent more than 10 minutes at Lake Chuzenji. I know the day was tight and well ordered, but this place was truly magnificent -- the stuff of ukiyo-e paintings, particularly when cherry blossoms are in bloom. I say this but I truly enjoyed my experience.

We don't typically like to take tours, preferring to travel on our own. The Toshogu Shrine is a must see for everyone traveling to Japan. Our guide Amy has to be the best tour guide we've come across in all of our travels. She's very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. On our tour bus, there was a teething toddler, and she cried during the entire 3.5 hours trip to Nikko. Amy was extremely accommodating to that family and to the other passengers. She's a 5-star guide.

What an amazing place. We were very lucky that because of the time of year there were very few tourists about so we were able to explore the site very easily. It is a magical place and we were so pleased that we went. The included lunch was very authentic and just perfect to warm us all back up. Our guide, Nao, was very informative and moved things along at a pace that was just right._br/_ Highly recommend this trip.

This day tour was very well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Shin-san was very informative, entertaining and helpful. All three places visited - the temple/shrine/tomb, the picturesque lake and the waterfall were well worth the trip. The Japenese lunch was of exceptional quality - and more than enough in quantity._br/_ Bernadette and Graeme, Melbourne

Ellie was a totally authentic, gracious, and kind guide. Highly recommend this tour to see the sites in the National Park area of Nikko! The fresh air and massive trees not to mention the equally impressive temples were quite fantastic. Ellie provided us some interesting inside Japanese context and was personable as well as super helpful to get us going along with our directions after we were dropped off @ Shinjuko Station. The alpine lake visit was quite lovely in spite of the 48 switchbacks on the winding road. Kudos to the great driver for skillfully manipulating the mountain and keeping us from getting motion sickness. One warning: the bus ride is a bit long at a little over 2 hours each way so beware that there are no bathrooms on the bus...however, there is a rest stop a little over half way which is nice to get a coffee or freshen up. The waterfalls was also a highlight. Quite a long day but lovely and well worth getting out of the concrete jungle of Tokyo! Again, Ellie made the trip so enjoyable as a great guide.

The Nikko National Park tour was fantastic. It was a great day trip from Tokyo. I did not find the bus trip too long and thought the sites that were seen were amazing. Being close to Tokyo, I had no idea that Japan had that amazing scenery to it. The guide did a great job explaining everything despite the massive crowds everywhere. Well done!

Very good tour if you are in Tokyo and you have no much time available, it’s perfect to understand japanese ancient culture as well as the beauty of their nature in only one day. Highly recommended.

Review by: Tinine, March 2018
Our guide was great and this tour was perfectly timed. I recommend choosing the option with lunch as there aren't many restaurant options in the park and the bento lunch provided was great. Loved the walk up to the Tokugawa resting place, the waterfall and the lake!

I built an extra day into my Japan trip to see Nikko and this trip did not disappoint. The tour company was very organized. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the shopping area a short walk back. We saw all the major sights and moved at a speed that gave us ample time for picture taking. The tour guide was very good. It was a great day.

We had an excellent guide and a good day in NIKKO. It was not what I had expected so it was very different and special. The crying dragons was very interesting.. The entire demo was in Japanese so we didn't understand what he was saying but we could get the idea.

Very Nice trip and beautiful scenery. Too bad it was raining at the end of the trip but we were able to see the falls just before the fog came in. Good guides. Would recommend
