  • Today we travel to Nikkō, a beautiful place in the gorgeous mountains just over two hours away from Tokyo. A perfect day trip but also a place I would have loved to have spent a few days. An Unesco World Heritage Site, I think Nikkō is a must visit!

    If you go to Nikko again, please take a train called Spacia X of Tobu Railway from Asakusa station.
    You will have a special experience.
    I recommend it.

    Thank you for the beautiful video. As a Japanese, I strongly advise you to stay at Nikko Kanaya Hotel if and when you visit there again. Forget about Ritz Carlton! Kanaya Hotel is the oldest western style hotel in Japan opened in 1873. There are other beautiful "classic" western style hotels in Japan built in late 19C or early 20C , for instance, Fujiya- Hotel in Hakone, Miyako Hotel in Kyoto, Nara Hotel in Nara. The price is, of course, quite expensive but the rooms, food, the service are excellent. You would love them, I'm sure.

    OMG!!❤!! I've always felt some kind of kinship with Japan but have never been.
    I've felt inspired by all these videos so far, but this one especially has made me pause and start looking at flights, etc.
    You have a note during this video saying Nikkō is even more spectacular in Autumn (Fall) (on a sidenote, is it possible to keep those notes up a little bit longer?), which gives me plenty of time to start saving for a trip next year (including a night or two at the Ritz Carlton).

    Thank you for this! SO beautiful! We went to Nikko once, but it was late "winter/early spring," so very cold and gray...not green and verdant. It was almost ghost-town-like when we visited. Thank you for the visitors' guide. I am 4th generation Japanese-American. My parents do not speak any Japanese and neither do I! It is somewhat of a problem as the Japanese think I can understand Nihongo. I didn't learn how to correctly pronounce "Hiroshima" until I was 49 years old, ad it was a 90 year old friend from Wisconsin who corrected my pronunciation.

    Beautiful!!! If you only had time to do either Nikko or Kanazawa, which would you recommend for a day trip from Tokyo. They both look so amazing. We are thinking if doing a Japan cruise with a few days in Tokyo before or after in 2025.
