On my way back from Misawa I met two American guys that were headed for the same destination as me. We ended up talking all the way down to Tokyo and it came up that they had made plans to go to Nikko the day after. Since we got along so well I asked to come along and they warmly welcomed me.
We exchanged phone numbers, and the day after we met up at the Asakusa station. Two of their friends also came along, so we were a neat little group of five people making the day trip to Nikko.
Nikko is a world heritage site, located north of Tokyo 2 hours by train. They also have a Edo world experience place and beautiful walking tracks, spiralling the mountains, going by the lakes and through the woods.
We bought the tickets for the heritage sites, so our hours were spent walking in the wonderful nature, looking at shrines of all kinds! It was an enjoyable experience, I really liked the atmosphere of this place.
One day I will go back and stay a night, do some more hiking, enjoying the nature and also take the chance to go to the Edo village. I've heard rumours of the possibility to be dressed up in clothes from that era and go into a given roll, maybe be a samurai or a geisha? :) Seems to be a cool place.
Anyhow, here is some pictures for you!
