The "NIKKO PASS all area" is recommended for those who want to enjoy not only Nikko's famous shrines and temples, but also a wide range of attractions such as Kinugawa Onsen and Kirifuri Falls. The popularity of this pass stems from the ease the user has in exploring wide areas that are designated bus free access zones.

Another nice point is that it can be used on the sightseeing boats on Lake Chuzenji and the Akechidaira Ropeway, both of which offer spectacular views of the natural beauty of Nikko.
