- Hi everyone! Today we took a day trip to Nikko! Nikko is a world heritage site, famous for a number of shrines dedicated to the famous shogun leader, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his grandson. There's also a beautiful lake nearby with a waterfall, mountain views and more temples as well as the old Imperial Villa where the imperial family would spend the hot Japanese summers until the mid 1900s. As normal with the Japan travel videos we have tips for travelling around Nikko and updates on our Japan Rail Pass savings! Thanks so much for watching!

I've been watching many videos on Japan for months to prepare for my first ever trip there in April 2019. And only just today I've stumbled upon your channel! Your videos have been THE MOST helpful so far! Thank you so much for your care and hard work, it shows in your great production value.
Thanks so much Faye!!! I’m so glad the videos are helpful! Japan is amazing but can be daunting the first time - so I hope the tips help everyone have a great trip! Thanks so much again!
Enjoy your trip!
Oh wow I love watching travel videos that actually teach me something about the culture and history! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the comment Kakibot! I'm glad you enjoyed the history parts!!!
i love all the great information you give us on your vlogs it really enhances your already perfect videos, thankyou so much
Thanks so much Wendy! This means so much!!! :D
Hi Natasha. I think this must be at least my fourth time watching this video. Your explanation of the areas of historical significance as well as food reports were amazingly insightful. How you (guys) guided us on an amazing adventure through your lens is such a wonderful treat. Thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe and happy travels!
When I was here they were doing major renovations and I didn’t get to see a whole lot of The shrines, thanks for showing this.
You’re welcome!!!! Yeah whenever I got to Japan I see at least some renovation work - they’re doing them all the time. Glad you could see them in the vid!
I always learn something thanks for sharing your trips!
Thanks so much Kay! I'm so glad!
how much time Covid? I want to go back to Japan! Such a beautiful place.
Walt said Disneyland would never be completed as well...
😷 ♥ 🇯🇵
True!!! :D
Every single Onsen ryokan in Nikko is just brilliant. I strongly recommend everyone to stay there for a night or two in Ryokan although its possible to take a day trip from Tokyo.
Oh thanks for the tip Shu! I'll try and stay in a ryokan next time!
Nikko (日光, Nikkō) is a town at the entrance to Nikko National Park, most famous for Toshogu, Japan's most lavishly decorated shrine and the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Wow!!!
Very informative. A crack above the rest
you are so cute and bubbly and full of knowledge! so happy i discovered you!
Thanks so much Gabriella!!! :D
Thank you Natasa . I am also planning to visit Nikko...
YAY!!!! Nikko is AMAZING!!! such a cool place to visit - you'll have a great time! :D
Your video is really useful. You did a great job. Thank you.
You're welcome Victor Michel! Thanks so much for the comment!
Wonderful video. Love the shrines.
Thanks so much! Yeah they're amazing - so easy to take pictures of something which is so beautiful! :D
楽しいビデオ、ありがとうございます。ナターシャさんの’日本愛’がよく伝わってきます。
ありがとうございます！日本が大好き！もうすぐ戻ります！
I love these videos soon much! Hoping to go next year and these vlogs are so informative and well done! excited to move onto ur disney vlogs after x
Thanks so much Ivana!!! Nice to hear from you again! Hope your planning is going well! :D
Hi! I love your videos! The detail is really allowing me to plan my upcoming trip. I was wondering if your chuzenji bus pass allowed you to go to any bus? Or was it specifically only the bus headed to chuzenji?
I believe it's any bus in the immediate region - but if you want to go to the nearest onsen area it's a little more. Japan Guide has all the info you need I think! Scroll to the bottom and there's details of the busses there! www.japan-guide.com/e/e3805.html
I've been Nikko too. All I remember is tiredness. There's a lot of long steep!
Oh yeah those steps!!! Over 200! We were so tired after that! :D
You are so cute ❤️ Your video is full of information... I like the way you describe the history 😀
Thank you so much 😀! I love a bit of history now and again!
Going to Nikko tomorrow. Great video and lot's of know how you gave. Awesome. Great music! What camera do you use to record the video?
Thanks so much!!!! I used the canon G7X Mark II! It's a common camera used by vloggers - I love it! :D
Great channel!!! Love how you do it!! So subscribed!!! What camera do you use?
Thanks so much!!! I use Canon G7X Mark II - I think many vloggers use the same camera, but it's a good one so that makes sense! :D
Great video! Full of useful information. I'm considering going to Nikko next April. How cold was it during your visit to Kegon Falls and the Chuzenji Lake area? Do you think it's worth seeing in April or should I save Nikko for another season?
April is a good season - although it was cold and the weather can be temperamental! I went in May one year and it was perfect - Liam and I were unlucky this time! If you're doing a day trip from Tokyo you can always check the weather and decide on the day whether to go!
Hi Natasha, this is a nice video. We are going to visit Japan this November 2018. Can you show us how to get Nikko from Tokyo by JR pass (the green one). Thank you very much
I can point you to the link which has all the info on how to get to Nikko on the JR Pass! Here you go - www.japan-guide.com/e/e3805.html. I hope it helps! :D
I really like how you share your experience which is very genuine and thoughtful. Btw, beautiful lips color. Haha
Thanks so much!!! Oh and I do love that lipstick! :D
I was in Nikko awhile back with bunch of students. I had no idea about this temple you went to with the 2 dragon paintings. I need to check this temple out whenever I visit Nikko again.
Yes definitely! I had been too but didn't know about that temple - was such a surprise!
btw, you should do one about how you're learning japanese and some tips, or the most important words to know.
Oh what a great idea!!! Thanks so much for this! I'll make some notes; I worry slightly about teaching Japanese just in case I get something wrong - but I probably worry too much!!!
im going to japan in 8 days for 12 day stay. We have plans to go to Nikko and Hakkone from Tokyo. Will the JR Pass allow us to travel to these destinations??
Yes but not on the private railway lines - you'll need to take the Japan Rail routes, see Japan Guide for more info! Hakone: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5200.html, Nikko: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3800.html. I hope this helps!
Have you been to tokyo disneyland ? I’m confused on which one should i visit either Nikko or Tokyo Disneyland. Hope you can make suggestion for me 🙂
I have! And I have a bunch of vlogs on Tokyo Disney too! Oh I love both places so would recommend to go to both. Although Nikko is amazing for culture and Tokyo Disney is amazing for fun. So depends on what you’re into more! I hope this helps although that’s a tough decision on your hands!
love your videos girl, keep it u sis
Thanks so much Nikki!!! I'll keep going! :D
i have been visited nikko and i fall in love with it. i came here when autumn and the view was just awesome. you can visit my blog to see all the photos i take
Oh thanks so much - I’ll check it out!!!
When is the best time in Autumn to visit Nikko? When trees are gold&red already?
I think so! But that happens for a very short time. Usually the leaves change over a 2 week period, and that tends to be a very popular time to travel in Japan! Have a look at the autumn colour reports on Japan Guide (www.japan-guide.com/blog/koyo17/), that should give you a good indication of when is the best time to go!
@@thisNatasha Will do! Thanks for the guide video
Hi I just want to ask what time did you start the trip?
Around 8am that morning - I remember it was early but not too early! It was a full on day!
@@thisNatasha thank you... How long did you stay in Toshogu Shrine?
I am planning to visit only this temple then go downtown to Kegon and Chuzenji like your itinerary. 😊
Wondeful
Thanks Franco!
Yay - love this video!! (...and that you still have your comments section.... 😶)
Thanks!!! Did you lose your comments section or something?!
the lipstick on the coffee cup ruined the vid for me ....sorry
