On our second and final day,
we decided to see the other side of Nikko; the side that many has grown to
admire. I like calling this place as the “historic center” of Nikko because in
this area, the beautiful Nikko Temple Complex is located and with a few minutes
walk across the Daiya River, you’ll reach the Kanmangafuchi Abyss; where the
famous statues of Bakejizo can be seen.
Location: Nikko, Tochigi, Japan
After a very long and careful planning, I gave in and decided to see the other face of Japan. Away from the glimmering lights of Ginza and Roppongi and deep into the snow-capped mountains of Tochigi Prefecture. Over the course of one day, I saw myself walking along the snow-lined shores of both Chuzenji-ko (中禅寺湖) and Yu-no-ko (湯の湖). I can say that the first day of the trip is definitely is a success.
