DAY TRIP FROM TOKYO: NIKKO, Japan Travel | Top Things To Do, What To Eat, How to get Around

In this Japan travel guide, we’re exploring Nikko, a charming city about 2 hours from Tokyo, famous for its stunning temples, shrines, and beautiful nature. In this video, I’ll share a Nikko travel update for 2025, as some things (including prices) have changed. We’ll cover how to get to Nikko, how to get around, and what to see: from the most important sights to hidden gems that most tourists miss.
Nikko’s most famous attraction is the Toshogu Shrine, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site that also includes Rinnoji Temple and Futarasan Shrine. Beyond its cultural heritage, Nikko offers breathtaking nature spots, hiking trails, scenic views, hot springs, and more. Visit in autumn to enjoy the spectacular autumn foliage that makes Nikko one of Japan’s most beautiful destinations.
