Postcards From Nikko
It’s autumn and the trees in Japan are colored with a stunning rainbow of deeps reds, yellows and greens. If you’re ever in Japan during the fall then you must visit Nikko. This town is a popular day trip with locals and tourists alike. It’s known for its elaborately decorated shrines and temples, beautiful parks, hiking trails and waterfalls.
Nikko is a nature lovers dreamland.
To be honest, as I explored this town I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland. I’d fallen into the rabbit hole and stepped into another world that’s filled with breathtaking shrines, tall trees and verdant scenery that’s been splashed over with an explosion of colors. Everywhere I turned I was presented with a picture perfect postcard of serene beauty.
I won’t bother writing about it. I’m not that good a writer. So below are pictures from my visit to Nikko. My one regret is that my low end camera doesn’t do it justice. Still, these pictures give you a taste of what I saw.
