Nikko day trip is quite popular from Tokyo 😍
And from Tokyo about 2 in the train distance can be reached!! ️ So it's quite convenient
Their World Heritage Site can be said to be unique 🥰 The most famous scenery of Men's Body Mountain is very beautiful 🥹
You can take the bus 🚌 to popular attractions such as Lake Chuzenji, Huayan Taki ❤️ You can go to two shrines and one temple belonging to the World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and Niarasan Shrine ⛩️ etc.❣️
The most recommended way is to start from Asakusa 👍🏻 You can go with the Nikko Pass which includes the transportation cost of the Nikko Bus 🤩 Divided into 2 days and 4 days
I buy 4 days!! ️Because we will go to Kinugawa Onsen♨️
And 4 days includes the Zhongzenji Lake Cruise 😎 If 2 days is not included to buy a separate boat ticket
Lake Cruise at Chuzenji Temple
First of all, we would recommend you to go to Nakazenji Lake 🥰 and Nikko Nihuang Shrine ⛩️ is next door
Because the Zhongzenji Lake Cruise is an hourly trip so if you are not enough, it is highly recommended to see it❣️
However, there is an entrance fee to enter!! ️If you expect to go to Toshogu Shrine, I don't think you have to go in to see it🙉
You can check the shift time first 👍🏻 almost time to go to exchange the ferry ticket 🎫
A boat trip takes about 1 hour 😎 He can clearly see the Man Body Mountain on the way 😍 Although the weather is average that day but it is still very comfortable ☺️ The whole boat trip is very comfortable 😌
Hwayan Falls
It's only 10 minutes away from Lake Chuzenji🤩 so it's quick to get there😍
There are 48 waterfalls in Nikko and Hwayan Falls is the most famous of them🥳 It will be the three major waterfalls in Japan🇯🇵🥰
There are two Huayan Falls Observation Deck☺️ Above is the free 🆓 Huayan Falls Observation Deck🙈 I think if time is limited then here is enough🤓
There you can already overlook the middle Zen temple lake flowing through the trees pouring down 🤔 very shocking
However, if you have time and want to enjoy the full view then you have to pay to take the Hwayan Falls elevator🛗
After seeing the main attractions on the mountain you can go down the mountain to the 400-year-old Nikko Toshogu Shrine 👍🏻 The drive is about 1 hour
It is mainly dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu of Japan🇯🇵 of the century-old war and is the headquarters of Toshogu Shrine in Japan😬
The origin of the two words "Tongzhao" is to be a metaphor for the rising sun🌞
There are many national treasure-level heritage sites in Nikko Toshogu Shrine🤩 In addition to experiencing the leisurely atmosphere of the temple, you can also enjoy visiting the history and culture
Finally, after reading the walk back to the station will pass the Shinjuku
The red bridge is really bright on the river😎
If you get on the bridge you have to pay
But just taking pictures in front is already very cool 🥳🥳
If you get bored of Tokyo, a day trip is perfect
