What To Expect
Shinkyo Bridge
The Shinkyo Bridge (Shinkyō, "sacred bridge") stands at the entrance to Nikko's shrines and temples, and technically belongs to Futarasan Shrine. The bridge is ranked as one of Japan's three finest bridges together with Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Nikko Tosho-gu
Toshogu Shrine in Nikko. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which controlled Japan for more than 250 years until 1868, or the Edo Period, is buried at this temple. This shrine complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you explore its magnificence, your guide can tell you fascinating tales about the architecture.

Disappointment with Douzo Tours

1.00If can, I would not give any star at all! We booked a private driver to Nikko with Douzo Tours. At the last minute they changed driver from a different company without informing us nor shared my contact number with the new company. We waited for 1 hour in the hotel lobby. After many calls and with the help of the hotel and family members, finally someone called to say that the driver was waiting outside our hotel. The replacement driver then told us he was a last minute replacement from another tour company and they didn't give him my contact number. We wasted 1 hour so we didn't get to go down to the Kegonno waterfall because we were going to Edo Wonderland. I thought it would be more reliable to book through a platform like Viator but not. Very disappointing

5.00Nikko National Park was magnificent. Had a wonderful day. Our driver Shimz was great, he went above and beyond to make sure that we all had an enjoyable experience. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
Wonderful trip, lots of nature.

5.00It’s a beautiful drive but 2 hours each way. Sights were interesting. We wish we had more information to understand what we were seeing.
He was not a tour guide, was only a driver and did not speak or understand English well. Texted while driving

2.00The experience started out rough when at 8 pm the night before the driver (Zaidi) messaged me that he would pick us up an hour and a half before our ticketed pick up time. Because we had just arrived, we were already asleep when he sent it. It was also clear from the message he sent back to me at 5am that his English was poor. He spoke very little English and could not understand any of my questions. He was not Japanese and had no real knowledge of the area, the culture, or traditions and had nothing to say about anywhere we visited. He basically dropped us off and told us to meet him at the car. It was not at all what we expected or hoped for. If you are looking for an informational tour, this is not the tour to take. If you like to leave when you expect to leave, this is not your tour. And, even as a driver I saw him text while driving on the interstate. At one point he even took a picture of the cars in front of us and sent the photo by text. It wasn’t very safe (or legal).
