Nikko is two places in one day: the gilded shrines in town and the lake and falls up in the mountains. The Irohazaka road links them with 48 hairpin bends, and in October, when the leaves turn, it can jam solid.
Discover Nikko’s stunning waterfalls, historic shrines, and tranquil lakes on a well-organized day trip from Tokyo—perfect for culture lovers and nature enthusiasts.
