Review of a private Tokyo to Nikko day trip with luxury transport, Toshogu Shrine, waterfalls, mountain views, and flexible sightseeing.
“I booked this private tour with my family. Our guide was Jagroop, he was friendly and is a good driver. I especially just wanted to focus the trip in the shrines and temple area. I just wanted to be in that area and didn’t want to go anywhere - glad that Jagroop was able to accommodate us with our request. I feel like the trees, the shrines, gates looked like they are straight out of a movie. It’s so beautiful and serene - would definitely go back there next time.!”
