Hello. I'm going to Nikko next month with my husband and daughter for an overnight stay. We are booked at an inn very near the Toshogu shrine. We have 3 major items in our 2-day itinerary:
Day 1: (Arrival) 1) The shrines (Toshogu, etc.) 2) Tobu World Square
Day 2: 3) Lake Chuzenji area (Kegon, Ryuzu, etc.)
Is this arrangement OK in terms of time? Or would you suggest exchanging 2 and 3? I was thinking of spending the whole 2nd day for the lake area, so we can just take our time slowly. But would you rather spend one whole day for Tobu world square instead? Please help.
PS: What type of Tobu Nikko Pass would you recommend for this itinerary? World heritage, Kinugawa theme park or All-Nikko?
Thanks a lot!

Tobu World only requires a couple of hours. An entire day would be too much. So, I think the current plan is not bad. If you don't have too much luggage, you could head directly to Tobu World Square first and then proceed to the shrines of Nikko afterwards. That would save you a little bit of time. What type of Tobu Nikko Pass would you recommend for this itinerary? World heritage, Kinugawa theme park or All-Nikko?World Heritage Pass: Pass: 3600 yen does not cover Okunikko bus: 2650-3000 yen for a 2-day bus pass does not cover World Square: 2000 yen TOTAL: 8250-8600 yen Kinugawa Theme Park Pass: Pass: 4000 yen does not cover shrines: 1000 yen does not cover Okunikko bus: 2650-3000 yen for a 2-day bus pass TOTAL: 7650-8000 yen All Nikko Pass: Pass: 4400 yen does not cover shrines: 1000 yen does not cover World Square: 2000 yen TOTAL: 7400 yen The price for the 2-day bus pass differs depending on how far into Okunikko you want to go (2650 yen as far as Ryuzu Falls and Senjogahara Marsh; 3000 yen as far as Yumoto). The 2000 yen entrance fee for the Tobu World Square is calculated assuming you use the following online discount coupon: http://www.tobuws.co.jp/en/coupon/index.htmlThe 1000 yen for the shrines is calculated assuming you will use the 1000 yen combination ticket. So, s you can see, I recommend the All Nikko Pass.
