Nikko

Posted by Joshua van Aalst in Japan

Nikko was fantastic. It is a traditional holiday get away in Japan. It is located very high up in the mountains and is situated between a massive lake and series of waterfalls and rivers. It was also the location of many lark temples. It was truly stunning. I really didn’t think I would like the more traditional aspect and scenery of Japan as much as I did, but I was totally blown away. Also, be prepared, if you visit Nikko, it is an extremely steep bus trip up the side of several mountains. You will be scared out of your brains as the bus driver makes some incredibly daring turns.

If you visit Japan, head out of Tokyo and visit Nikko!
