NIKKO, Japan - Californer -- Tobu Railway Co., Ltd., in cooperation with The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko, TOBU TOP TOURS CO.,LTD and AERO ASAHI CORPORATION, announces a new Fall Foliage Helicopter Experience Accommodations Plan in Nikko, Japan. The mountains of Nikko, carpeted in deciduous trees and rushing waterfalls, surrounding the 535 ft deep Lake Chuzenji, Japan's highest altitude lake, are among the best places in Japan to experience fall foliage. Now, for an even more spectacular autumn leaves viewing experience, guests at The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko, can take in the seasonal delights from the sky via helicopter. Operation dates are October 14, 21 & November 2, 5, 9, 11, 12 (other date options by special request in advance). Reservations began September 20th and will continue through November 4th. Minimum 8 days advance booking. (A cancelation fee applies if canceled 10 days or fewer prior to the flight.)

This plan avoids traffic jams from Tokyo Heliport to Oku-Nikko (Deep Nikko), where The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko is located. In addition to the helicopter tour and accommodations, the plan includes limited express trains and limousine cars, according to the customer's request. That is, guests can customize their transportation and time. Also, as an additional privilege, in The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko will provide a hotel credit of 50,000 yen that can be used at its restaurants and spas.
