Use Haneda (HND) · Narita (NRT), Tokyo as a starting point for researching airport access, not as a promise of a particular flight or direct service. Match your terminal and arrival time with the hotel area around Tobu-Nikko · JR Nikko · shrine area.
Compare rail, bus and licensed road transfer options where available. The final walk from the stop matters with luggage. For late arrivals, check the last service and hotel check-in deadline before purchasing the flight.
The local picture
Nikko has a shrine area and a higher mountain region around Lake Chuzenji. They are different travel zones; a temple-focused day should not automatically include every lake and waterfall.
