Next, visit Rinnoji Temple, Nikko’s oldest Buddhist temple, surrounded by peaceful gardens and centuries-old cedar trees. As you continue through the famous Irohazaka Winding Road, enjoy spectacular mountain scenery and panoramic viewpoints that become especially beautiful during autumn when the forests are covered in vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow.
Arrive at the stunning Lake Chuzenji, a peaceful volcanic lake surrounded by mountains and colorful forests.

After a full day of sightseeing, relax with an optional visit to one of Nikko’s traditional onsen (hot springs). Soak in naturally heated mineral waters surrounded by peaceful mountain scenery—the perfect way to end your journey.
