Nikko is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts hundreds of ornate temples, shrines, and pagodas, just two hours by train outside of Tokyo. Spend a weekend getting to know this Japanese mountain town and explore waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and more Japanese culture and history than most any other city in Japan! Here’s what you need to eat, see, and do in Nikko, along with my recommendations on where to stay, how to get around, and how to make the most of your visit to one of Japan’s most enchanting cities.
