Nikko

We took a three-day respite from ARI and visited Nikko National Park. Nikko is known for its temples and shrines on the edge of the village of Nikko (where we stayed)

Shinkyo bridge
The area around Nikkō Tōshogū shrine.

and for the beautiful area around Lake Chuzen-ji. We did run into a bit of weather during our hike.

Run away!
Lake Chuzen-ji and Mt. Kantai. And Chrys.
Kegon Falls

We visited just a few days after the peak fall colors, but still it was beautiful.

We rented a car for the drive into the mountains, which added to the adventure – you drive on the left in Japan.
