2026 Nikko Waraku Odori Full-Day Experience Course
This is a full-day course centered on the "Nikko Waraku Odori" (held August 7, 2026, 7 PM-9 PM) in Kiyotaki-cho, Nikko City, where UNESCO World Heritage temples are located. During the day, carefully explore the heritage temple complex from Shinkyo Bridge through Toshogu Shrine to Rinno-ji Temple on Mt. Nikko. Feel refreshed at the mystical Kanmanogafuchi Gorge, then enjoy Nikko's specialty yuba cuisine for dinner. From 7 PM, the Waraku Odori Bon dance begins in Kiyotaki, a tradition passed down by local people. This is a truly Nikko day where you can enjoy both visits to historic temples and participation in a summer festival rooted in the community.
