Is is safe to go hiking in Nikko national park by myself. Are there usually a lot of people around? Is it possible or better to book an organised hiking group in the town?

Hi,

Can someone who had been One More Time Pension - Nikko tell me how far it is from JR station and the temples?
Can we take a bus from JR station to this pension or do we have to take taxi? If so, any idea about the cost?
Also, how can we access to the temple area from this pension?
By viewing their web-site, we like their rooms but need to know how we can access to and from JR station and the temple area.
Thank you so much for your advise.

I'm visiting Nikko in January and will be there for just 1 day before I return to Tokyo.

Is it possible to visit both the shrines and Kegon Falls and still catch the last train (about 5pm) back to Tokyo?

I heard the bus ride to Kegon Falls is rather long.

We're heading for Nikko this weekend. Wanted to know what the campgrounds are like, and if they are actually by Chzenji Lake. We're going camping, so we just thought we'd better know the wheres and whats....
Thanks...
