Learn more about Nikko

Ancient temples hide among misty forests where carved dragons seem ready to spring to life at any moment. Tokugawa Ieyasu's magnificent mausoleum at Nikkō Tōshō-gū shrine dazzles with gold leaf and intricate details that craftsmen spent decades perfecting. The Japanese saying goes "Never say 'magnificent' until you've seen Nikkō" – and they're not exaggerating. After temple-hopping, soak weary muscles in steaming onsen with mountain views that change dramatically with the seasons. Sample delicate yuba (tofu skin) at traditional ryokans where hospitality remains unchanged for centuries. For family fun, Edo Wonderland recreates feudal Japan with samurai performances and ninja demonstrations. In winter, nearby ski resorts offer powder without Tokyo crowds.
