A good tour, our guide was most informative. My only complaint was that it was a little too fast, not enough time to take good photos, and I lost the guide several times. The meal was great.

The tour was great, well paced, and we had a helpful guide. The Japanese lunch was a highlight, and there was time to see the features without any pressure to go to any souvenir shops. Those shops that were at Kegon falls were quite reasonable, obviously aimed at the local tourist. Finding the Hamanastusko Bus Terminal from Daimon Subway station was not immediately obvious, but fortunately I had looked at Google maps to get an idea before leaving home.

Great trip. Even though it's a long drive, it's certainly worth it. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us numerous insights into Japanese life past and present. All in all certainly worth going on.

The tour was well organized and the guide was super friendly. It was nice to have someone do the planning for us and see the beautiful country side. Would definitely recommend!

We both thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our guide was excellent and prepared us very well for what we were to see at the shrine. The lunch was delicious, and I really can't fault the whole experience.

This whole tour is not to be missed. The tour company used the time efficiently without rushing us. The entire day was very interesting. I will do more day tours with you guys.

Wow! Toshogu Shrine is absolutely amazing. The trip is worth it just for this site. I would like to have been given more free time at this site and less or no time at Lake Chuzenji and less time at Kegon Waterfall. Those were major anticlimaxes after Toshogu.

This was great, but a long day. We did get pictures of two monkeys, and the scenery was beautiful.

Nikko is a beautiful place; it was hammering with rain when we were there, and yet it still looked beautiful, which I think is something of an achievement! The tour guide was brilliant, and everything ran very smoothly. I highly recommend this tour!

We found this trip to be excellent value. The shrine is an amazing place and a fascinating experience. The coach drive there and back was rather long and might have been boring (hairpin bends excepted!) but for the fact we had an excellent guide who gave us interesting insights into the Japanese way of life as well as expert info on the sights. We didn't rate the lunch, partly because we found the dining room to be cluttered with the dirty dishes of the previous sittings. The Kegon waterfall is well known as a suicide leap. Putting these things aside however, it's a great day out.

The perfect tour. Nikko was fabulous. The tour was in late November, and we had some light snow, which made Nikko and Lake Chuzenji all the more magical.

This trip should be on everyone's list; it is a very worthwhile day trip out of Tokyo into the lovely countryside. Our lunch was simply delicious, and we were not rushed; there was enough time to see everything. Also nothing but praise for our guide, who really looked after us.
