Tochigi Essentials

Tochigi Prefecture centers on the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Nikko, featuring the iconic vermilion Shinkyo Bridge and the sacred Mt. Nantai. The region is defined by its dramatic volcanic landscape, including the 97-meter Kegon Falls and the high-altitude marshlands of Senjogahara. Cultural highlights range from the centuries-old wisteria at Ashikaga Flower Park to immersive historical recreations at Edo Wonderland and the architectural miniatures of Tobu World Square. Motorsports enthusiasts are served by the international Twin Ring Motegi circuit.
