D2 Nikko

We left Tokyo and set off to Nikko today.
Caught sight of Tokyo Sky Tree while walking to the station. After two hours of train ride, we finally arrived at Nikko.
During the ride and at the station, the bright colours of trees has already amazed us.













In the afternoon, we returned to town area. First we stopped at tamozawa imperial villa, it was the perfect time to see the villa, the building and the garden looked unreal in the afternoon. It may be the best garden with the perfect autumn leaf we see this trip.


After that we had less than one hour to visit the world heritage listed mausoleums. We visited Toshogu Mausoleum briefly.


The town area of Nikko was as full of different shades of yellow, orange and red.




From information given by the host, we added one night program. After dinner at a local japanese "pub", we visited illuminations at Syouyouen, a different look of Japanese garden in a temple complex.
