I cannot wait to get back to Japan. Words simply fail to convey just how beautiful that country is.

The area around Kegon waterfall is some of the most stunning scenery I have ever seen. The bus trip in itself is an adventure, especially the return down the Irozahak Winding Road with it's numerous 29 and 30 metre radius hairpins. The skill of the bus drivers is something else.

The Koyo (the reddening of the leaves in autumn) is so beautiful...

[Astranth]

I've been twice to Japan now and I have yet to visit Nikko. If it wasn't already, it certainly is now!

[deeppurple]

I remember being here 😊 Miss this place lots of walking but hey Loved every stroll 🥰

[spiderliliez]

Have missed 4 trips to Japan because of this pandemic. I can't wait to get back and tour again.

I gotta say that the lake that's in the same area as the waterfalls is a sight to be hold as well.

[VanhA-dbkz]

One of the most impressive places I've visited.

Staying in okunikko hot spring during winter is one of my favourite visit in Japan. It so quite and peacefull (and cold). Practically no one there at the lake when we visit it. The ryokan is also nice as I practically alone in the outdoor onsen watching the snow fall.

A stunning place! Absolutely perfect to people who want to avoid waves of tourists. No doubt, it is on my list of special places.
Marvellous job Japan-guide Team.

been to Nikko 14 years ago, the video brings me good memories, I have also visited Japan in 2013, 2016 and 2018 and did not have enough time to revisit it again.

[maestrovso]

I spent a night there and tour the temples and shrines. Certainly of of many memorable places I visited in Japan.

Adding another point to my already long list. Can´t wait to visit japan! Thanks for the video.

[SparkFromWithin]

Thanks for including a hiking route. :) I hope that in the future you guys could point us at other hiking routes, I believe that aspect is not covered as much as I would like.

[samuraiwalkchonmagego]

Thank you for sharing a nice place!
I hope to return to a world where you can go wherever you like as soon as possible!

I've seen no. 5 and 1 when I visited Nikko in 2018. I also walked along the river with its many Jizo statues.. in the morning mist it was almost magical 😍 next time I wanna see the Okunikko region!

[kushagrarai]

I have just started watching the video but I know that it will be really beyond expectations & informative too. Presentation as always is really good. ❤️😊
