Hello guys
I want to ask about the Nikko pass, i intend to purchase the pass online and my idea is to go to utsunomiya (from hokkaido with jr pass) and at that tine is the last day of my jr pass and i intended to go to nikko from utsunomiya then stay there for 3 nights. Is it possible to use the nikko pass immidiately when i arrived at Nikko then uses the pass to go back to tokyo?
So the route would be like Hokkaido -> Utsunomiya -> Nikko (3 nights) -> Tokyo

Thank you Uji for the answer :D
technically I still can use the nikko pass to go back to Tokyo using the Tobu rail knowing my stay there and going back to Tokyo still in tange of the Nikko pass but i would also consider that, from what I see that the price of the train going back to tokyo would be aroung \5000 give or take wich is higher than nikko pass, im not sure how fast is the tobu railway compared to JR but it would be a good consideration
but at least it's good to know that i can use the Nikko pass straight away from without going to asakusa

To answer your actual question:
No, you can't use the Nikko Pass to go from Utsunomiya back to Tokyo. The Tobu Utsunomiya Line is not covered. You would have to take the JR line back to Nikko and then Tobu to Asakusa.
And: because the pass is now available as a digital pass, it should be possible to use it even if you don't start using it from Asakusa, but I am not 100% sure.
