Stroll the precincts of UNESCO World Heritage sites Rinnoji Temple and the Toshogu and Futarasan Shrines on a four-hour excursion accompanied by a member of our guest experiences team. At Toshogu, enjoy a guided tour of the complex led by a shrine maiden, and experience a purification ritual in an ornately decorated room once reserved for use by the Tokugawa shoguns. Included in this outing is a visit to Kanmangafuchi, a riverside footpath lined with 70 stone statues of Jizo, the patron saint of travelers. Back at the hotel, try your hand at the Nikko-bori style of ornate woodcarving that adorns Toshogu. In this two-hour class taught by local artisans, you’ll use the hikkaki chisel, a tool unique to the Nikko carving tradition. Be sure to reserve these and other guest activities by 4 p.m. on the prior day
