What you'll see and do
Kegon Falls
This is the most famous of the 48 waterfalls scattered around Nikko. The water of Lake Chuzenji falls straight down from the 97-meter-high bank to form a magnificent waterfall. You can feel the majesty of nature and the gorgeous beauty of the shape at the same time. Take the elevator down to the viewing platform to see the waterfall pool from a close distance. The explosion sound and splashing water are very impressive. In May, you can see the fresh green, in June, white-bellied hairy-legged swallows fly around the waterfall, and in January and February, the frozen slender small waterfalls called the 12 waterfalls make the entire waterfall form a blue ice that emits a bluish-white light. The scenery displayed here is different in each season and it is very touching.

Lake Chuzenji is located in Nikko National Park, Tochigi Prefecture, Honshu, Japan, at an altitude of 1,237 meters (4,060 feet). It is a tourist attraction (shrine, yachting, fishing, skiing). On the north shore stands the 2,490-meter (8,169-foot) tall volcano. The lakeshore is 23 kilometers (14 miles) long and winding, surrounded by low mountains. The lake is fed by small rivers in the northwest. When the Dagu River flows eastward, it forms the Huayan Falls with a height of 96 meters (316 feet). Lake Chuzenji has an area of 11.62 square kilometers, a circumference of 25 kilometers, an altitude of 1,269 meters, and a depth of 163 meters. Yukawa is the main source of lake water, and it flows to the Otani River (a tributary of the Kinugawa River) through Kegon Falls (Kagetaki). Lake Chuzenji is Japan's representative alpine lake and the largest lake in Nikko National Park. It was created by a lava valley erupted by a volcano and has crystal clear water.

Chuzenji Temple
After reaching the summit of Mt. Nantai, the founder of Mount Nikko, Shodo Shonin, built Chuzenji Temple in 784 and used it as a place of training. At the time, the temple was located near the entrance to Mt. Nantai, but after the Oyama tsunami in 1902, it was moved to Lake Chuzenji's Utagahama. It is the 18th of the 33 Bando Kannon temples, and is home to distinctive Buddhist statues such as Tachiki Kannon and Hanori Daikokuten. You can also try your hand at copying sutras, copying Buddhas, and making rosary beads.

Irohazaka Route
Iroha-zaka is a slope between Mabe and Lake Chuzenji in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, on National Route 120. The Iroha-zaka Highway is considered one of the most difficult mountain roads in Japan because of its many difficult sharp turns. In autumn, the leaves around it are dyed beautifully red, making it a famous autumn leaf spot. In the past, it was a route for people to climb and visit Mount Nantai and Chuzenji Temple. It was named "Iroha-zaka" in the early Showa period (the first half of the 1900s). There are 48 bends, which just fits the 48 characters of "Iroha Uta", so the cable car guide announcement began to call this slope this way. In 1954, due to road reconstruction, the first Iroha-zaka was basically completed. In 1965, the second Iroha-zaka dedicated to the uphill was built, and the number of bends increased to 50, but the number of bends in the first Iroha-zaka was reduced by two, which was consistent with "Iroha..." again.

Nikko Tosho-gu
Nikko Toshogu Shrine is a shrine located in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It is the head shrine of Toshogu Shrine, and the main deity is Tosho Daigonen (Tokugawa Ieyasu). Nikko Toshogu Shrine is known as one of the "Three Great Toshogu Shrines in Japan" along with Kunozan Toshogu Shrine and Senba Toshogu Shrine. Nikko Toshogu Shrine was built in 1617 to commemorate Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate. There are a large number of animal wooden sculptures in the precincts, symbolizing peace, among which "Three Monkeys" and "Sleeping Cat" are the most famous. In December 1999, "Temple and Shrine of Nikko" including Nikko Toshogu Shrine was selected as a World Cultural Heritage.

Shinkyo Bridge
Nikko’s Shinkyo Bridge is a sacred river crossing which officially belongs to nearby Futarasan Jinja Shrine. One of Nikko’s best-known sightseeing spots, the elegant arc of this bridge crosses the Daiya-gawa River and its vermilion and black lacquer contrasts beautifully with the natural scenery about it.The name “Shinkyo” or 神橋 simply means “sacred bridge” and the bridge is considered to be one of Japan’s three most beautiful bridges along with the Kintaikyo Bridge in Yamaguchi Prefecture and the Saruhashi Bridge in Yamanashi Prefecture. The bridge, which is 28 meters long, 7.4 meters wide, and stands 10.6 meters above the river, is both a nationally designated Important Cultural Property and a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nikko Private Customized Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Nikko Private Customized Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $90000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nikko Private Customized Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Nikko Private Customized Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nikko Private Customized Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nikko Private Customized Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nikko Private Customized Day Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nikko Private Customized Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
