Senjogahara Hiking Trail, Nikko

Hi Steph. I'm happy to see that you got inspired by this :-)
Yes, the starting points for the marshland hike can all be reached by bus: Take the Tobu Bus that leaves from Tobu Nikko Station towards Yumoto Onsen in upper Nikko. The following link is quite helpful I think: http://www.tobu.co.jp/foreign/sight/nikko_contents.html
We started in Yumoto Onsen and ended our walk at the Ryuzu Falls, but there are some shorter options too. I recommend to get a map with all the details and a bus schedule (both available in English) at the tourist information in Nikko. Enjoy!

Lovely! It's easy to forget about the other worthwhile places around Nikko when her town's temples are so shiny; having been there before, I relish the idea of something new to see. Thank you very much. Could you tell me whether it's possible to reach the marshlands without a car?

Thanks!
Steph
