About Nikko

Nikko, a hidden gem in Japan, is an unmissable destination that will leave you enchanted by its mystique. The city's standout attraction is the Toshogu Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. What sets Nikko apart is its unique blend of Shinto and Buddhist architecture, reflected in its ornate shrines and temples. The best time to visit Nikko is during autumn, when the city's foliage is ablaze with vibrant colors. For first-timers, we recommend purchasing a Nikko Pass, which grants access to the city's main attractions, including the Toshogu Shrine, Rinno-ji Temple, and Lake Chuzenji, making it easy to explore the city's many wonders.
