Nikko day trip - My daughter and I wanted to see the highlights of Nikko as our time was limited. This was perfect and our guide/driver , Orko, was the best. We saw the summer home of the imperial family (now a museum), beautiful water falls and Lake and famous bridge. Had a delicious lunch at a local soba/tempura shop. It was authentic and historic. Orko was quick to answer all our questions and also stepped in when we needed a photographer! Overall had a great time!

Nikko private tour - We visited Nikko with a private Yujin guided tour and it was truly exceptional from start to finish. Orko demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the local history, culture, and hidden gems that made the tour not only informative but also incredibly engaging. We visited multiple places and had a Nikko style lunch in a small family owned restaurant! Definitely recommend this tour.

Swiss goes to Nikko - We had planned a day trip to Nikko for our discerning guests (an elderly couple) from Switzerland. Although the day was rainy, we really enjoyed the tour and our driver was a very pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Regularly asking if everyone was comfortable during the journey gave a pleasant feeling and his driving style also conveyed a sense of security. We can highly recommend the tour.

Highly Recommend This Tour - We really enjoyed the tour with our guide, Orko. He was very kind and gave us suggestions about the stops on the tour and even recommended some additional places. Visiting with a driver enabled us to view more spots in Nikko in just one day. I think the area would have been very difficult to explore without a car, so I highly recommend this tour.

Great day trip to Nikko! - The driver picked us up on time, navigated the roads with tight turns like an expert and was able to customize the trip to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see while we were there. I highly recommend seeing Nikko if you can schedule it in for a day-trip.
