Nikko Private Day Trip

We made the Day Tour to Nikko departing from Tokio and was our best day in Japan, breathtaking landskapes, beatiful shrines and temples, valuable information from Gabriel, he was really attentive and funny. A must in your travel to Japan, and with Tokio Vibes the whole procces form reservation to the return to Tokio was pretty clear and adapted to our rythm. Would definitely recomend if you one to know a more rural and authentic side of Japan.
