  • Toshogu Shrine
    Toshogu Shrine is a lavishly decorated UNESCO World Heritage site in Nikkō, dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate.

  • Iroha Mountain Road (Irohazaka) is a famous winding mountain road in Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, featuring 48 sharp hairpin turns—each named after a character of the old Japanese alphabet "Iroha."

  • Akechidaira Ropeway is a short aerial lift in Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, Irohazaka Winding Road, Lake Chuzenji, and Kegon Falls.

  • Lake Chuzenji
    Lake Chuzenji is a tranquil alpine lake located in Nikko National Park, Tochigi Prefecture, sitting at an elevation of 1,269 meters. Formed by a volcanic eruption of Mount Nantai around 20,000 years ago, it is one of Japan’s highest natural lakes. Surrounded by forested mountains, the lake offers stunning seasonal scenery—from lush greenery in summer to vibrant autumn leaves and snow-covered shores in winter. Popular activities include hiking along the 25 km lakeside trail, visiting the nearby Kegon Falls, taking boat cruises, and relaxing in lakeside hot springs. Historic buildings, such as former embassy villas and Chuzenji Temple, add cultural charm to the area.
  • Kegon Falls
    Kegon Falls is a stunning 97-meter waterfall in Nikko National Park, Tochigi Prefecture. It flows from Lake Chuzenji and is famous for its dramatic drop and beautiful surroundings, especially during autumn foliage and winter ice formations.
