Nikko is a 2 hour drive from Tokyo located in Tochigi Prefecture, Northeast of Tokyo. It's temples and shrines are World Heritage sites in Japan. A great way to enjoy the beauty of nature including Lake Chuzenji and numerous waterfalls in the area.
Toshogu Shrine & Rinnoji Temple
Justin was in a drawing mood today. He started sketching things he saw while resting on a bench. He did a very nice drawing of the ticket office, the five storied pagoda and the Torii Stone gate. After our visit to Toshogu temple and Rinnoji Temple, we proceeded to a restaurant nearby for lunch.
While waiting for our lunch, Justin continued to make sketches of the scenery outside. We had the speciality of Nikko, Yuba noodles. Yuba is made from soy milk. Similar to "tau ghee" and is Papa's favourite.
Kegon Waterfall
On the way up to Kegon Waterfall, we stopped by a viewing point for some photos. The kids were beginning to see some snow on the ground and got quite excited.

The scenery at Nikko was just amazing and beautiful. It is a popular tourist spot during autumn when the leaves change colour and start falling. Not many people go to Nikko during winter, but I still enjoyed Nikko nonetheless. No traffic jams along the way. The kids enjoyed themselves most playing with the snow.
