Nikko

On the way to Nikko

The leaves were starting to change colours

Beautiful nature

Nikko is a popular place to visit and today was no exception

This shrine has impressive five stories

Torii

Shrines, people, shrines, people...

In the background the famous three monkeys (doesn't hear, doesn't speak and doesn't see) and up front Lin (Taiwan), me & Claudia doing our best to mimic them

After a long day it was nice to finish with tasty sushi


061102, Thursday

Since we had no school today my friends and I decided to visit Nikko (north of Tokyo). We departed at seven o'clock and spent about two hours on the train until we arrived. Nikko is really a beautiful place with several Buddhist temples and shrines to see and enter. Unfortunately, it was rather chilly today but you almost did not notice it due to all the beautiful things to see. At about six o'clock it was time to catch the train again. When arriving in Asakusa we decided to go to a kaitenzushi place. A perfect ending to this day :)
