Nikko is beautiful in Autumn. Went there just last week as one of my Japanese friends mother from another Prefecture was in town and she only just wanted to visit Toshogu Shrine.
Cool drone shot 👍

Bạn là người VN nhưng giọng đọc rất ấm và hay. Nội dung hữu ích và quay rất đẹp, tuyệt vời.
Cảm ơn lời động viên của bạn ^^
Hẹn gặp bạn ở video lần tới nhé!!
Great Job!
Thanks! Please come back for future videos :D
Looks beautiful!. Do you think it's possible to visit the waterfalls and do some siteseeting on a day trip from Tokyo? I'm very limited in time but Nikko looks amazing in Mid November.
Absolutely! Visiting Nikko as a day trip from Tokyo is definitely possible, especially in mid-November when the autumn colors are at their peak, making it an even more magical experience. While Nikko has so much to offer, you can still cover the major highlights like the waterfalls and some key sightseeing spots in a day. It's tricky but possible, it's very common to do day trip actually. It's will be a 2-3 hours in commute though. So I would advice to plan your itinerary carefully. A quick thought is that you can visit Kegon Fall, Ryuzu Fall, Shinkyo Bridge and Tosogu Shrine.
Hope it helps. :D
Thank you for your invaluable sharing and the 2 day trip falls in nicely for my coming trip that would be similar duration and timing. We wanted so much to see the autumns color of NIkko. Your vlog provide excellent details and is very helpful. You have included drone video clips which is very interesting but Japan seems very strict and difficult to apply to use drone for the tour. I don't want to break the law but is there a easier way to do so like you?
Hey thanks for your kind comment. 😊
During the time I flied by drone, there is no need to register drone that
@@stronglonggg Thank you very much.
Hi, thanks for the video. What do you think of visiting Nikko in mid December? What can we see and do there in Dec? Thanks!
Thank you for watching the video and considering a visit to Nikko in December! :D
Nikko in mid-December offers a unique charm with its winter landscapes. While you won't experience the vibrant fall foliage or the lush greenery of summer, you can enjoy a quieter and more serene side of Nikko.
- You can feel the winter scenery of nature in Nikko, including Nikko National Park and Lake Chuzenji.
- Nikko is known for its relaxing hot springs, and there's nothing quite like soaking in a warm onsen on a cold winter day.
- Winter Festivals: Depending on your timing, you might have the chance to experience winter festivals with beautiful illuminations and cultural performances.
- Snow Activities: If you're into winter sports, there may be opportunities for snowshoeing, skiing, or snowboarding in nearby areas
I recommend you checkout these resources from Nikko Official Guide:
Festivals & Events: checkout Winter part
www.visitnikko.jp/en/things-to-do/festivals-and-events/
Sample Itinerary with Winter Sports
www.visitnikko.jp/en/itineraries/winter-sports-for-beginners-and-experts-alike/
Just remember to dress warmly, with layers, a good winter coat, and sturdy, insulated footwear. Be sure to check the weather forecast before your trip as well. Enjoy your visit to Nikko in December, and if you have any more questions or need additional information, feel free to ask! ^^
Nice video! If i would go to Nikko as a day trip from Tokyo would you still recommend the Nikko All Pass even though I have the JR Pass? Or does it make more sense to just use an JR Train and get bus tickets for Nikko?
Hey thanks for your comment!
I think JR Pass doesn't cover transportation within the Nikko area. It's not eligible to use on non-JR railway lines, such as the Tobu Railway, which is the main rail network serving Nikko.
To get from Tokyo to Nikko using the JR Pass, you can take a JR train (e.g., the JR Tohoku Shinkansen) from Tokyo to Utsunomiya, and from there, transfer to the JR Nikko Line to Nikko Station. However, once you arrive in Nikko, you will need to use other forms of transportation, such as local buses or taxis, to access the various attractions within the Nikko area.
So I think it's depend on your itinerary in Nikko, whether your 1 day commute in Nikko can beat the Nikko All Pass price. For example the fee for Akechidaira Ropeway is 1000yen round trip, the cruise roundtrip is ~1700yen, etc. You should plan your itinerary then you can estimate your overall commute expense.
Enjoy your visit to Nikko! :D
Heya. Wanna ask how long did it take you to finish the Marshland hike? Was it relatively easy? Looking forward to your advice. Thanks
Hey welcome and thanks for your comment :D
It took us 2.5 hrs to go from Senjogahara Marshland to the Yudaki Falls, we went in a very chill and relax manner :))) we usually stop and look at the scenery, stop in a sightseeing spot to have breakfast. I think with those amount of time, we explore almost all of the trail.
The course was very easy, not so steep, very easy to walk and to enjoy the nature, I even saw children a long the way. Also I haven't search yet but there must be detour and shorter/longer course.
Hope it's help! Wish you all the best in there ^^
Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to the hike. May I know the bus stops from where you start hiking at senjogahara marshland and from yumoto onsen?
hi may i know how u can go hiking in Senjogahara Marshland? by yourself? or with trip agent? and how much the fee? thanks! bcs I am going to nikko next month!
Hey thank you for watching the video and considering a visit to Nikko! :D
Senjogahara Marshland in Nikko is a wonderful place for hiking, and you can certainly explore it on your own. There is no specific entrance fee to access Senjogahara Marshland itself, but there might be fees for parking if you're driving. The trail is very easy to follow, and there are signs, directions everywhere so don't worry.
Since your trip is next month, it's advisable to check the latest information, including trail conditions, weather forecasts, and any updated fees, closer to your travel date. Have a fantastic time exploring Senjogahara Marshland and Nikko! ^^
Is there any hotels at cheap rate for stay
Hi you can search on Booking or Agoda. There are several guest houses and lodges that are under 8000 yen. Have a look here 😁

Nikko sightseeing during early March possible?
As long as you are interested in shrines, architectures, sculptures or history, I dare say it is worth visiting in any time of the year. However, I think it will be so cold with heavy snow in March, in comparison to in Tokyo so don't forget to bring your jacket with you. 😁
Hi may I know what is the date when you travelled in this are?
Hi thanks for your comment :D
I went there at Oct 21, 2021, it was the peak of foliage season. So if you plan to visit during Fall, I would suggest you to have a research before hand.
Happy travel :D
Hello guys, when we are buying the all area nikko pass from the asakusa station desk, do we need to show our passports?
Hi thanks for your comment. 😊
I bought the pass 1 week before the departure date, but from Tobu website, you can buy it 2-3 day before the departure date:
Passes may be purchased online up until two days before the departure date.
(Three days in advance when booking both limited express tickets and passes)
And about the passport, no, you don't need to show your passport.
Hope it helps. 😊
@@stronglonggg Thank you so much!
are you allowed to fly your own personal drone like DJI MINI 2 in the area?
Hey thanks for your comment. 😊
Here is my personal research in 2022 and it might be outdated:
- no license needed if the total weight is
Hi. May I know which Hotel did you stay?
I booked a cheap hotel near Tobu station named "Nikko Park Lodge Tobu Station". You know, you get what you pay for. From my experience I don't recommend except you are on a super budget. 😅
Hello what date you visited Niko?
Hey glad you asked!
We went at 23 Oct 2022.
Hope it helps :D
bạn ơi, đi cruise trên hồ mất bao nhiêu tgian vậy? mình chỉ có 1 ngày ở Nikko thì mình đi thác ryuza-> hiking senjogahara -> đi cruise quanh hồ chuzenji -> thác kegon -> cầu đỏ -> quay về station trước 5h chiều, đi vậy kịp ko ạ.
Chào bạn, cảm ơn bạn đã ghé thăm video của mình! :D
Đi cruise thì tùy theo course nha bạn, full course đi sẽ mất 55 phút. Bạn có thể tham khảo thời gian chạy ở đây nhé: www.chuzenjiko-cruise.com/timetable.html
Lịch trình của bạn thì thứ tự các điểm mình thấy hiking senjogahara trước rồi đi xuống ryuzu fall, sau đó đi tiếp về các điểm bạn gợi ý thì hợp lý hơn nha bạn, mình sẽ đi xuôi dần về ga. Hoặc nếu bạn tới Nikko sớm thì bạn có thể tới thác Yudaki trước rồi đi hiking về senjogahara.
Hiking senjogahara bạn phải đi thật sớm, mình đi từ Tobu station lúc 6 giờ, hiking senjogahara tới thác Yudaki mất 3 tiếng lận. Nên mình gợi ý timeline là buổi sáng mình đi senjogahara, rồi đi cruise, buổi chiều kegon, cầu đỏ, về ga. Lịch trình buổi sáng tùy thuộc vào thời gian bạn tới ga nikko vào mấy giờ nha, nếu đi từ Tokyo cũng mất 3 tiếng di chuyển rồi nên bạn phải đi thật sớm nhé. Một tips nữa là buổi chiều bạn sắp xếp về tới cầu đỏ trước 4h nhé không là tắc tới tối lun đó.
Chúc bạn có chuyến đi vui vẻ nhé, nếu có gì thắc mắc cứ hỏi mình nha! ^^
@@stronglonggg tks bạn đã chia sẻ. video bạn quay đẹp quá.
Did you take the express train? or the local train to reach in 2 Hours?
Hi, thanks for the comment. Yes we use local train, it's around 2 hours on train from my home in Tokyo Adachiku to Tobu station.
Hope it helps. 😄
@@stronglonggg Thanks man!
