Nikko Sightseeing Boat Cruise

The Nikko Sightseeing Boat Cruise offers an unforgettable way to explore the stunning scenery of Lake Chuzenji. Departing every hour, the boats follow a counter-clockwise route around the lake, making stops at key attractions such as Chuzenji Onsen, Shobugahama Pier, and Ryuzu Waterfall. Along the way, passengers have the opportunity to visit historical sites like the Italian Embassy Villa and the British Embassy Villa, both offering a glimpse into the region's diplomatic past, as well as the serene Chuzenji Temple. Each stop provides a chance to experience different aspects of the lake’s natural and cultural beauty.

In addition to the regular route, a special boat line operates in June, taking passengers to Senjugahama on the western shore. This additional route offers more breathtaking views of the lake, perfect for those looking to extend their journey. The boat cruise is an ideal way to relax and take in the panoramic views of the lake, surrounded by lush forests and mountainous landscapes, making it a must-do experience for anyone visiting the area.
