Itinerary

Day 1 | Tokyo

After, join your new travel companions for an optional dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 2 | Tokyo - Nikko

Nikko

Enjoy a free morning in Tokyo. This afternoon, you’ll catch a local train to Nikko. Japanese trains are a quintessential experience and one of the best insights into culture (and efficiency!) of the country. Go shopping for some snacks or a bento box at the train station and watch the scenery pass you by. Arrive in Nikko in the late afternoon – tonight, you'll stay in a small inn with shared facilities.
