Tochigi

My main reason to go to Mobility Park was to visit the Honda Collection Hall and see the race track at Motegi. But we added on the attractions you recommended and really enjoyed it. We spent the whole day at the park from 10 am until 4:30 pm. I am a Honda enthusiast so that might explain why but I know my wife also enjoyed herself even though she is not into motorcycles and cars.

Overall, the itinerary was well-planned, but the vehicle was incredibly small! Seventeen people were crammed into a minibus, with knees practically touching the seats in front. The 2.5-hour journey, including mountain roads, was extremely painful, and I was one of the shorter travelers! Also, the onsen facilities were rather old. The tour leader was excellent, communicating diligently with everyone and even helping with photos. (Itinerary for October 22, 2025: Nikko Shrine had no autumn leaves yet, Lake Chuzenji had autumn leaves, and Kegon Falls was slightly red.)

there are many activities to try out but a lot of them require extra payment. but it is worth the try! recommend to dress up in the historical costume to further immerse yourself. the staff also cosplays different personas to make you feel more immersed in the edo environment.

On October 13th, the last day of the three-day holiday, I went to Nikko Toshogu Shrine. The line to buy admission tickets stretched all the way down the approach to the shrine, but I was able to quickly purchase one here. I was able to exchange my ticket without having to wait in line. There were a lot of foreign tourists inside Toshogu Shrine, so it was incredibly crowded.
