Japan
A 4-day trip to Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
Opulent Tokugawa shrine complexes set amid ancient cedar forests and alpine waterfalls.
Nikko pairs the lavish gold-leaf mausoleum of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu with the rugged highlands of Nikko National Park. While many rush in on a day trip from Tokyo to see Toshogu Shrine, Nikko rewards travelers who push past town and climb the switchbacks to the alpine lakes, waterfalls, and sulfuric hot springs of Okunikko.
