Nikko is Nippon

We only live 45 minutes from Nikko, but 5 months later (yesterday) we finally made our way up there with Yuuko. Apparently its the best time of the year to go as the leaves are changing colours. It was fully packed with tourists. Anyway, mainly checked out Lake Chuzenji, Kegon Falls and the surrounding areas and had yuba (famous in Nikko) for lunch. Was disappointed we didn't see any monkeys, deers, bears etc. that we heard plenty about. Wanted to check out the World Heritage areas but got there too late. Gotta make another trip up there again before we leave this time to check out the other side like Kirifuri etc.




Anyways we bought some Nikko chocolate mochi but unforunately before we had even boarded the train back home we had finished it all, as you can see in the picture. The box colour and shape is nice though.
