When comparing flights to or near Nikko, begin with the exact airport: Haneda (HND) · Narita (NRT), Tokyo. Include the trip to the departure airport, check-in buffer, arrival procedures and onward travel to the hotel.
A short flight can still make a long travel day. Compare the whole route with rail or a change of base. Check baggage, seat and change conditions on the actual fare; a search result alone does not confirm the final total.
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.
