Step into the heart of Japan’s spiritual and political legacy on your Nikkō Morning History Tour. In just a few hours, you'll explore two of Nikkō’s most iconic and contrasting sites: the richly adorned Tōshō-gū Shrine, resting place of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the serene, ancient Futarasan Shrine, a center of mountain worship for over 1,200 years. With a knowledgeable English-speaking guide, you'll uncover the hidden meanings behind intricate carvings, sacred legends, and centuries-old rituals. This small-group tour offers not just sightseeing, but storytelling — bringing to life the powerful history and spiritual depth that make Nikkō a UNESCO World Heritage gem.
