What Is a Private Nikko Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Kegon Falls and Chuzenji
According to the website, Akechidaira was covered in heavy fog with no visibility, so we skipped it. After confirming by phone that Kegon Falls could be seen at the time, we decided to go. The water volume was 0.3 tons, which was on the lower side, but the autumn leaves had begun to turn and matched the surrounding scenery beautifully, and the guests were delighted. Chuzenji was almost entirely hidden by fog. On the way back, the first bus was crowded so we waited for the next one, but we were able to board with almost no wait, which was fortunate. One of the guests had requested gluten-free options, so I had confirmed the day before with a restaurant we had in mind that it would be open today, but when we arrived it was actually closed. There were no other gluten-free restaurants nearby, so we had to move on again. The guests were understanding, which was a relief, but I realized that when specific menu requirements are involved, it is best to confirm again on the day before heading out. The guests seemed to enjoy nature and places with strong local character, and I was glad they enjoyed Nikko.

Hi I am June, I work as a guide in Tochigi where is easily accessible from Tokyo. Tochigi is blessed with nature and has world heritage sites such as Toshogu shrine, Rinnoji temple, Futarasan shrine. I showed international travelers around World Heritage sites more than 100 times. Would you like to go there with me ? I will give you the detailed information about their history, custom and others. Also, I will take you to the quieter place even in the World Heritage area. Besides World Heritage sites, I will plan a course that perfectly suits your needs. Even if you have been to Tochigi before, you will discover a different Tochigi that you have never experience before.
I am waiting for your contact.
