      Serge san, thank you for watching this video too. Nikko is a bit far for a day trip so I cannot strongly recommend to anybody who are nervous about taking trains in Japan, but it is my favorite place. I couldnt't show Toshogu shrine in this video, but you have enough time to go to the shrine if you come back from Yudaki fall by bus. :)

    I'm so lucky to have watched your video before going to Nikko. I went there during the peak of autumn this year for 4 days and loved every minute of it. Your advise to line up in JR Nikko station is very helpful. There's always a long line in Tobu Nikko station especially in the morning. The All Area Pass that was valid for 4 days was very convenient and I can say it was worth it. Thank you so much for this very informative video.

There are a lot of perks of the All Area Pass. My favorite is the free Lake Chuzenji sightseeing cruise. :) Thanks again for the tips on this video.

Also, your simple and clear tips are so valuable to a first time visitor. Thank you for going the extra mile to add these to the video which we don't really see in other videos. Much appreciated! Also, what a great tip for getting the round-trip ticket at the good price. Looking forward to your other videos!

    Kenchan,
    I enjoy all your videos and created a dedicated folder under Playlists "Tokyo Kenchan!" When I first saw this video on Nikko I thought it might be interesting. However, your video brought back memories of vacation and business trips to Japan, the Far East, Europe and the U.S. I chuckled at your mention on making little mistakes (I have made many!) 😂 I laugh with you...not at you.
    Then the feeling of being overwhelmed when I got a glimpse of the hikers rushing off the train to get to buses. These reminded me of my own "adventures" when I traveled. There was not knowing about the underground multi-levels trains in S. Korea and lugging our bags up and out of the station. Then there was the last train I could get to visit Florence, Italy and ending up with the last night "local train"...it was a long ride. I made sure to take the express train back to Milan. It is nothing to really get upset about and I call these events "adventures" so when anyone asks about my trips I always say it was either "pleasant (uneventful) or an "ADVENTURE!". I actually remember my adventures and working things out versus calling it a "misadventure."
    So when I viewed your video I enjoyed your efforts to work around this wonderful Nikko day trip.
    I know I will have my fair share of "adventures" as I plan my upcoming visits to Japan. Train trips that will take me outside of Tokyo will be fun. Again, one of the visits (overnight) will be Wakayama to visit the Kishi (Nitama) Train Station. The train / bus ride(s) will be 5 1/2 hours. Other later trips will be to visit the Toyota Motorworks in Tahara (4 Runner) which is another long overnighter and the Seiko Watch Factory (Morioka or Ibaraki). Trip to Otake City, Hiroshima (Family) will also be planned.
    So thank you for the reminder to "Be Prepared" (Boy Scout Motto)...I know it will be an "adventure." 🙏🤙

      WTN808 san, what an honor that you have playlist for my videos! I was on the bus in Kyoto when I read your comment, and I was smiling for a while. I'm also happy to hear that you chuckled with the scene. It was worth waking up at 5am and headed to Nikko! It's interesting to learn about your adventure in Korea and Milan. I'm impressed about your mindset that taking it as adventure and nothing to upset about. Recently, I finally started to be able to take one mistake or happening during trip as opportunity to learn, even though I end up making the similar mistake again. :) Preparation helps, but as you mentioned, it's important not to get upset when things don't go as planned. Your next Japan trip sounds like another big adventure and I wish you the best journey!😄

    Yes , we are looking forward to it we learned much from you’re video. We will stay one night at Yumoto Onsen . We especially liked it when you videoed that area as well as the winding road up the mountain . My wife is concerned she will get motion sickness . I told her from your video it looks like everyone drives very slow !

    Hi Kenchan, Would love if you could do a video on a daytrip to Hakone like this one.
    I've also heard of Chureito Pagoda is a good place to get a good view of Mt Fuji. I think a video on best places to view Mt Fuji (maybe like Hakone) could also be a popular video.

    Hi Kenchan, thanks again for this awesome video. If I plan to visit Nikko as a one day trip, how long do you think it will take me to tour all the temples and shrines within the world heritage area? I’m contemplating if I’ll have enough time to visit Kegon falls too. I will be arriving at Tobu-Nikko station around 9:30am

    • @tokyokenchan
      @tokyokenchan  Месяц назад +1

      Hi. I haven't seen all of the world heritage area, but some sites says it takes 4-5 hours just with the area. As reference, I arrived at JR Nikko at 8:30 am, and arrived at the observatory of Kegon Falls at 9:44. So unless you visit on the peak weekend of Fall foliage, you might be able to come down to Toshogu by 1pm. The only thing to note is the Toshogu closes entree at 3:30 pm after November. I hope you come up with a great plan. :)

    I have now seen the three water falls, hiked the Senjogahara nature trail and visited Toshugu Shrine. Nikko seems to be really nice place and it would be nice to stay there longer. Maybe rent a cottage and a bike as well as hike at the highland. Nature trail was amazing and the Nikko's forest was really different to the forests back home.
    I did a day trip with my friend and we were among the last visitors at the Toshugu Shrine. We bought tickets when clock was almost 16:30, the time when they stop selling tickets to the inner shrine. It was realy nice to see the Shrine complex with out a huge crowd. Also, it started to get darker and weather was really at atmospheric.
    Now when I have travelled to Nikko, the transport system is not that complex. However, somehow the information about how to get to the Nikko etc. is not well presented at the internet. They should make Toby railway pass which includes limited express trains.

    • @tokyokenchan
      @tokyokenchan  Год назад

      That's really amazing you could complete the route plus Toshogu shrine which I missed. I agree Nikko is a great place and worth staying a night or more. Yes, I get questions about the limited express tickets many times so that is the difficult part to understand probably. Thank you for sharing your experience in Nikko. I really enjoyed reading it.

    Hi Kenchan,
    we spent 3 days 2 nights in Nikko in Dec 2019 before COVID-19 hit.
    in 2019 there were 3 different passes one of which was the sanbommatsu 2 day pass which only allowed us to go as far as senjogahara.
    looks like these passes have been replaced by just 2 passes.
    thanks to you we can see what yudaki falls and yumoto onsen is like.

    • @tokyokenchan

    Thank you for this day trip idea! I have 3 days in Tokyo where I want to take day trips and this is for sure one of them. Do you think Hakone is worth it for a day trip from Tokyo KenChan? Or should Hakone be minimum one night stay?!

    • @tokyokenchan
      @tokyokenchan  2 года назад +1

      Thank you for watching this video too! I suppose Hakone is popular since everything is in one seamless package, easy access from Tokyo, all the rides experience such as ropeway and ferry, and view of volcanic Owakudani and the lake. Plus, one night at Ryokan experience from budget to luxury. So it's definitely a spot to include in the itinerary especially for the first time visitor to Tokyo. It's not the best place to visit for the view of Mt.Fuji since Hakone is surrounded by caldera mountains. I went up one of the surrounding mountain called Kintoki in a day trip from Tokyo, and it was an amazing experience off from the touristy Hakone. So you can also make a day trip too. It's much easier than Nikko to access and get around. :)

    One quick question, would the bus go directly from yudaki falls to tobu nikko station or first go to the last station and then we need to board a separate bus from last station to tobu nikko?

      Hi. The bus runs both ways, so it stops either way. You can get on the bus to Nikko station (which comes from the last stop).

      Thank you for watching. They close restrooms at Senjogahara, but they don't close the trail. You might not be able to see the trail depends on the amount of snow.
