Google Maps can't do trains with several stops in one link, so: the two blue buttons are the whole way there and the whole way back by public transport (set “Depart at” to the time on this page; Google may suggest slightly different trains, this page's times are the plan). The outlined button shows every stop of the day on one map. Each step below also has its own one-leg button.

What's confirmed: train and bus times, platforms and fares from Yahoo! 乗換案内 for Sun 25 Oct; Suica on Nikko buses from Tobu Bus; bath hours and prices from the Nikko Yumoto Visitor Center's table (Apr 2026) and Asoview; larches gold in the Visitor Center's 23 Oct photos; weather from tenki.jp (24 Oct 20:00). Not controllable: Sunday traffic on the mountain road and crowds, so the backups are there. Station boards win if they differ by a minute.
