Votre excursion commence tôt le matin par un trajet confortable en bus climatisé au départ de Ginza. En chemin, vous profiterez de vues panoramiques en direction de la région montagneuse de Nikko, réputée pour sa riche histoire et ses paysages naturels à couper le souffle.

Upon arrival in Nikko, we enjoyed a panoramic view of the iconic Shinkyo Bridge from the bus. Painted in bright red, this sacred bridge gracefully spans the Daiya River and is one of the most photographed landmarks in the area.

You’ll depart for the magnificent Toshogu Shrine, the lavish mausoleum of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu—considered one of Japan’s most beautiful and ornately decorated shrines. Renowned for its vibrant colors and intricate carvings, the shrine features iconic symbols like the “Three Wise Monkeys” and the “Sleeping Cat.” If you select the option with the ticket, you'll enjoy full access to explore the richly adorned inner areas of the shrine complex, including the five-story pagoda, while learning about the Tokugawa family’s lasting impact on Japanese history. If you do not select the admission option, you’ll have approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to enjoy the surrounding area at your own pace—whether strolling the peaceful grounds or browsing nearby shops and attractions.

The tour continues to Kegon Falls, one of Japan's most spectacular waterfalls, located in Nikko National Park. You’ll arrive at the Kegon Falls area, after a 40 minute bus ride, and once there, you’ll have 1h 20 minutes free time to admire this 97-meter-high waterfall. You can walk to the observation deck or take an elevator to get closer to the base of the falls. This is also the perfect time to enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant, where you can taste local specialties like yuba (tofu skin) or freshwater fish dishes. (Please note: Due to weather conditions, during January and February, the visit to Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji will be replaced with a panoramic view of Rinnoji Temple and the Futarasan Shrine)

The tour heads to Lake Chuzenji, a serene mountain lake formed by volcanic activity from Mount Nantai. You’ll arrive at Lake Chuzenji, where you’ll have free time to stroll along the lakeside and take in the peaceful surroundings. The lake, with Mount Nantai towering in the background, offers stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere. This is a great spot to relax and soak in the natural beauty of the area before heading back to the city. (Please note: Due to weather conditions, during January and February, the visit to Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji will be replaced with a panoramic view of Rinnoji Temple and the Futarasan Shrine)

Après avoir admiré la beauté pittoresque du lac Chuzenji, vous prendrez le bus pour le retour à Tokyo. C'est l'occasion de vous reposer et de repenser aux aventures de la journée. Vous retournerez à Ginza, concluant une journée riche en découvertes culturelles, paysages naturels époustouflants et expériences inoubliables.
