“We did this tour as a day trip from Tokyo. We took the train to Nikko, and booked a driver to drive our group of 4 and Yoshii, our guide. We would not recommend relying on the public bus in Nikko. Yoshii was great at helping make the most of our time and exploring the beautiful nature and wonderful culture in Nikko. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. We benefited from arriving on a weekday. Do not come on the weekend! - you’ll be waiting most of the day in lines and traffic.”
