Off the Beaten Path in Nikko

Free Off the Beaten Path in Nikko with Roamee Pro

Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided off-the-beaten-path walking tour route in Nikko. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Toshogu Shrine — the lavishly decorated mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Three Wise Monkeys — the original 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' carving on the Sacred Stable, Shinkyo Bridge — a sacred vermilion bridge over the Daiya River at the entrance to the shrine area, plus hidden gems like Kanmangafuchi Abyss — a row of stone Jizo statues along a mossy riverside gorge, known as the 'ghost statues' because their number seems to change and Lake Chuzenji — a scenic lake above Nikko reached by a winding mountain road, with the dramatic Kegon Falls nearby.

Use this page as a starting point for a Nikko walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Nikko. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
