Helicopter Journey to Nikko

Just an hour-long helicopter journey from Tokyo, Nikko is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Among its many treasures is the distinguished Rinnoji Temple, known for its beautiful architecture, historical significance, and spiritual importance. The temple’s garden and surrounding areas offer a tranquil setting perfect for meditation. Guests can partake in exclusive tours led by the temple priest, which include access to private areas typically closed to the public. Cycling is a favored activity in Nikko, offering a serene way to appreciate its natural beauty. Ride along Lake Chuzenji’s shores, where mountain cherry blossoms herald the arrival of spring, or pedal through colorful autumnal forests and winding mountain paths. Stay the night at the Ritz Carlton, Nikko, where you can explore an exquisite art collection and savor local cuisine at the restaurant, complemented by an impressive selection of drinks at the bar. Another must-see is the Tamozawa Imperial Villa, a former summer retreat for Japan’s imperial family that now serves as a public museum nestled within beautifully crafted Japanese and Western-style gardens. Here, you can savor a private breakfast specially prepared by the chef of the nearby Kanaya Hotel in this historic setting. The architecture, which reflects the Edo, Meiji, and Taisho periods, offers a captivating journey through Japan’s past. Before heading back to Tokyo, venture on a 30-minute helicopter trip to Ibaraki prefecture to visit Fukuroda Falls, one of Japan’s top three waterfalls. The area also has one of Japan’s longest pedestrian bridges, Ryujin Big Suspension Bridge. Nestled in unspoiled nature, the beauty of these sites varies distinctively with the seasons, offering a unique experience each time.
