Nikko Tosho-gu
A lavishly decorated Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Located in the scenic mountains of Nikkō, it’s known for its vibrant carvings, gold leaf details, and famous motifs like the “See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil” monkeys. Unlike the simplicity of most Shinto shrines, Tōshō-gū impresses with its ornate design and grand scale. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see for those interested in Japan’s samurai history and artistry.
Nikko Futarasan Shrine
Founded in 767, Nikkō Futarasan Shrine is one of the oldest and most sacred sites in the Nikkō area. It’s dedicated to the deities of Mt. Nantai, Mt. Nyoho, and Mt. Taro, and has long been a spiritual center for mountain worship. The shrine features tranquil forest surroundings, sacred trees, and a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the grandeur of nearby Tōshō-gū. It’s a perfect stop for travelers seeking nature, spirituality, and quiet beauty in the heart of Nikkō.

Visiting Tōshō-gū was absolutely unforgettable—the details and colors were stunning. I felt surrounded by history, and it was amazing to imagine the legacy of the Tokugawa era. The atmosphere was lively yet still had a sense of sacredness. Futarasan Shrine, on the other hand, was calm and peaceful in the forest. I loved the contrast between the grandeur of Tōshō-gū and the serenity of Futarasan. This tour gave me both cultural depth and natural beauty in one day.

Visiting Nikko was our highlight of Japan, and this tour made it 100 times more enjoyable. Our guide, Kai, answered all our questions about Japan and Nikko and went beyond by taking photos and sharing great recommendations! Highly recommended to anyone in Nikko!

Absolutely worth the trip from Tokyo. The guide, Kai was warm and informative, and the transport was perfectly arranged. Toshogu Shrine’s beauty and the surrounding nature made this one of my favorite travel memories.
