Nikko
Must TryOutside Tokyo · Nikko City
Nikkō is a UNESCO shrine-and-nature town in the mountains north of Tokyo, centred on the lavishly carved Tōshōgū shrine — the "see-no-evil" monkeys and gilded gates — and surrounded by waterfalls, Lake Chūzenji and blazing autumn foliage. It's a full day or, better, an overnight. Autumn is spectacular but very busy.
