Sightseeing without congestion “Autumn leaves open bus tour 2022” operates at hot spring inn [Kai] in Nikko city
2022.09.13
The “Autumn Leaves Open Bus Tour 2022” will be held at the hot spring inns “KAI Nikko”, “KAI Kinugawa” and “KAI Kawaji” located in Nikko City, Tochigi, where you can enjoy sightseeing without congestion.
Enjoy the autumn leaves up close on an open-air bus with an outstanding sense of freedom
The biggest attraction of this tour is that you can enjoy an overwhelming sense of openness.
The open-air bus does not have a roof, so you can enjoy the colored leaves up close.
Travel slowly so that you can fully enjoy the scenery, the refreshing autumn breeze, and the scent of the forest.
Two Routes to Visit Autumn Foliage Spots in Tochigi
＜Irohazaka Route＞
Irohazaka, a scenic spot for autumn foliage that connects the city of Nikko with Lake Chuzenji and Oku-Nikko, is famous for its 48 curves and steep slopes that go up and down with an elevation difference of about 440 meters.
Many cars pass through the peak season of autumn leaves, and it often leads to traffic jams.
In this tour, you can enjoy the autumn leaves in the quiet morning without traffic jams by operating early in the morning with overnight guests on board.
＜Ikari/Kawaji Dam Route＞
The Isori Dam and Kawaji Dam, located upstream of the Kinugawa River, are well-known fall foliage spots for the scenery of natural red and yellow trees interwoven with structures such as bridges and dam bodies.
The Ikari Dam is covered in autumnal leaves like a brocade, and the Kawaji Dam is an arch-type dam with one of the highest embankments in Japan.
In addition, the surface of the water is an emerald green called Kawaji Blue, and you can enjoy the contrast with the autumn leaves.
Local winter protection goods to support comfortable ride [NEW].
In this tour, we will give you a local hot water bottle to keep you warm during the ride, and amazake(sweet sake) after the ride.
You can rent a hot water bottle wrapped in a Tochigi traditional craft “Kurobane Aizome” cover when boarding the bus, so you can enjoy the tour comfortably even in the chilly weather.
And after boarding, you can enjoy the afterglow of the tour while taking a break with amazake.
