About
One of the eight landlocked prefectures in Japan, Tochigi is a place full of not just nature, but also several major cities like its capital Utsunomiya. One of its most standout areas is Nikko, a popular destination for Japanese and international tourists alike. A place to get away and relax since the days of antiquity, it is home to many ancient structures like the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu. In fact, the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses 103 different buildings or structures. Further to the northeast, the Nasu area is known for its farms, hot springs, local sake, and ski resorts. Tochigi is the recommended destination for those who love the great outdoors but also like the convenience of having a major city never too far away.
