The Area

Located alongside beautiful Lake Chuzenji, Nikko offers spectacular natural beauty and historical relics dating back more than 1,200 years. Just 80 miles north of Tokyo, it is well worth the trip for the scenic wonders alone.

Nearby Chuzenji town features the Kegon-no-taki Falls, whose mist-laden waters are known for producing an almost rainbow effect. The area around Chuzenji offers mountain trails, relaxing mineral spas and a unique, high plateau filled with wildflowers and hot springs.
