Nikko is perfect for hikers and nature lovers, Enomoto said. It's also one of his favorite day trip destinations.
The mountainous town has various hiking trails to visit its three main waterfalls, Yudaki, Ryuzu, and Kegon. It's also famous for the Toshogu shrine, a lavish complex that combines Shinto and Buddhist elements.
Enomoto suggests visiting in the fall for the best weather and scenery. He also recommends stopping by a street stall to try yuba, a local delicacy made from tofu skin.
