| *Notes: 1. Due to expected traffic congestion during the peak autumn season, the tour will not visit Kegon Falls or Lake Chuzenji.

The tour itinerary may be changed due to traffic congestion, or other unforeseen circumstances. No refunds will be provided for changes in the itinerary. 3. Depending on road conditions, the tour may stop at a different parking area (rest area) instead of the Hanyu Parking Area. In this case, please note that the different rest area will not be a representation of an Edo Period town. 4. Arrival times may be delayed due to traffic conditions as this tour will travel by bus. 5. As temperatures are cooler in Nikko than in Tokyo, it is highly recommended to bring warm clothing from autumn to spring. 6. This tour involves walking the hills and stairs of Toshogu Shrine and Kegon Falls. Comfortable clothes and shoes are recommended. 7. Vegetarian meals are available and must be requested at the time of booking. |
