Nikko is my personal little advanture
before I leave Japan. This great experience is all own to the
"Lonely Planet" little book (Tokyo version) that nicely
guide me through all the hidden routes (Tokai-Nikko train, Bus,
etc.)
 
 |
The
city is hiddenly located in the north of Tokyo. It tooks me
5 hours to go there from Yokohama (because I have got lost
to some Onsen -- 3-4 stations mistake in ther subburb area
resulted in 2 hours waste in a middle of no where ^^') |
 |
 |
Unesco
has given the "world heritage" entitle to its ancient
part (the north of the city... where many shired and two famous
shokun tomb with wise symbols are (Tokokawa Ieayashu and his
son).. |
 |
 |
I must
said that I enjoyed my time in Nikko the most. However,
so sad that it was rain pretty heavy during my visit.
The above right figure is a famous
three wise monkeys that I like: hear no evil, speak no evil
and see no evil :) |
 |
 |
I spent
quite an amount of money here (the entrance fee is quite
expenive) but I can ensure you that every places here does
really worth visiting.
The main tomb has two court... (separate
tickets). The three wise monkey located at the outer court. |
 |
 |
The
inner court is the "must" because of its extra-ordinar
beauty... there are 2 more important places/icons which
are forbidden to be taken by the camera.
The first is a roaring golden dragon
(if you crap your hand below it) which is so extremely beautiful
more than word can say (so that the architect deliberatery
swap one supportive pole upside down in order to let the
god not jealous on this tomb to prevent any disaster).

 |
 A
river here is very clear... green
and blue. It reflects how close the nature you can touch from
here (e.g. so much close to nature... so that the last train
departed from this town is as early as 6pm! and there is not
many tourist here < or probably due to the heavy rain). |
 |
 |
I have
also captured some movies showing how beauty the inner court
and the outer court are... anyway due to the limited space
on the web... I cannot show you here :'( -- please request
me personally if you would like to see ~ 10Mb in total. |
