Autumn foliage (koyo) at Nikko — peak weeks
NikkoPR's koyo is arguably Japan's best — the elevation range from 500m (Nikko town) to 1,800m (Yumoto) means peak color moves gradually over 3 weeks:
- ●Early October: Yumoto Onsen (highest elevation) at peak
- ●Mid-October: Chuzenji Lake area at peak
- ●Late October – Early November: Irohazaka winding road at peak (drive it!)
- ●Mid-November: NikkoPR town + Toshogu shrine grounds at peak
Where to stay if 1 day isn't enough
For 2-day NikkoPR: stay in Chuzenji-onsen or Yumoto Onsen (both have traditional ryokan). Alternatively, Nikko-town ryokan give easier morning start. Prices ¥18,000-40,000/night for 2 people including dinner.
