Visiting the World Heritage Site of Nikko Nikko is located in Tochigi prefecture in central Japan and is an easy trip from Tokyo. A world heritage site filled with temples, stunning scenery and onsen’s, it’s an excellent example of Japans Edo past. There is a lot to do in the area however things are quite spread out. For example the temples of Nikko are located centrally, very close to Nikko Tobu train station. The vast majority of onsens are a further train ride away. Further way still are the areas around national park areas dominated by the gorgeous looking Lake Chuzenji. If you are travelling on a 2 day pass you are likely going to have to drop one of the above three options. Since we only had 2 days we decided to drop the Lake Chuzenji area and focus on the temples and onsens. Also do bear in mind…
