Assessment

The World Heritage Pass is a good offer, because the round trip to Nikko and admission to the two shrines and the temple already cost about the same as a pass. The pass is of particularly good value, if you combine your visit to Nikko with a visit to Kinugawa Onsen, because the pass is also valid on the train to Kinugawa and includes discounts on admission to the area's theme parks.

The All Nikko Pass is a good offer if you also plan to visit the Okunikko region around Lake Chuzenji and Yumoto Onsen, as it comes cheaper than paying separately for train and buses. The pass is of even better value, if you combine your visit to Nikko and Okunikko with a visit to Kinugawa Onsen.

The Kinugawa Theme Park Pass is a good offer if you plan on visiting either Nikko Edomura or Tobu World Square, as it saves over 1500 yen compared to separate tickets for transportation and theme park admission. The pass is of even better value if you visit both theme parks.
