On the Road - Nikko he Ikou!

Rail pass: Check!
Passport: Check!
Money: Check!
Too much luggage: Check!

Wahoo! My first shinkansen ride to Utsunomiya

The Nikko train!

Nikko train station. The weather remained this awesome for my whole stay.

Check-in time wasn't until 3 so I stuffed my luggage into a locker and went for a wander around town...

A grey, japanese, tail-less version of Ginger?

One of my favourite pics from Nikko

Shinkyo - Sacred Bridge of Nikko. Considered a National Treasure.

An awesome cast iron dragon water feature

One of the entrances to the Futurasan Shrine

Path of lanterns leading up to the entrance pictured above

Awesome icicles extending from a frozen water dripping feature
