Wandering Japan: A day trip in Nikko
While I was in Japan, working on a long term project, I had the opportunity to visit the country. I did many trips either of one day or weekends. It was always an adventure and a very rewarding experience, visually and socially. The trip illustrated below is a one day trip to Nikko.
The day started in Tokyo on a Saturday morning early by train as always here, where convenience and efficiency is paramount. After about 90 min of scenic views, we arrived in Nikko. There is a lot to see just in walking distance from the train and you can easily fill a day of visit.
Wondering away from the station, after passing the Shinkyo bridge, I arrived at the Toschogu temple, a place rich of historical architecture, intermingled spirituality of Shintoism and Buddhism, and of course tourists with cameras 🙂

After exhausting the rich views of the temple, eating in small shops, I ventured further to the lake and on the way catching of view of the Kegon falls. I then made my way back to the city and the train.
There was a lot more to see but I will leave it to you or my next trip to Nikko.
Among other remarkable sites you will want to hit:
Kanmangafuchi Abyss, 憾満ヶ淵, the Chuzenji Lake Observation deck, and for those with the weekend available, the Nikkowanoshiro Onsen.
Come visit Niko and enjoy!
