Nikko Highlights tour itinerary

 

The Japanese saying “Never say ‘kekko’ until you’ve seen Nikko”; kekko meaning beautiful, magnificent, or “I am satisfied” is a reflection of the beauty of the sites in Nikkō.

 

Let’s go to Nikko; the birthplace of the shoguns and see the world-famous temples and statue gallery. Nikko is also well-known for its monkeys that walk around the town in the winter looking for food.

 

Here are some of the highlights of Nikko, depending on your personal interests we can arrange our schedule accordingly:

 

*Tōshō-gū including the three wise monkeys (“See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”)
