Samstag 2008/11/01 Nikko

Because on Monday and Tuesday in Japan's public holiday (Culture Day), I figured it would be again time to venture a little trip!

So I met with Henning and a Frenchman who hstudent as Austausc Hennings at university is to drive to Nikko World Heritage Site. Right now turns in Japan namely the autumn leaves, and the need then be thought of roughly as the famous Indian Summer in the U.S.. D a time when I travel I always had been lucky with the weather (ToiToiToi) we were hoping for many great impressions! (Especially the two photo freaks)

So we bought the station a "World Heritage Pass" in which the Tempelein steps included are (little tip for future visitors to Japan end) and off we went with the Tobu line to Nik ko. After 3 hours' ride we were already on and found that when the last temples not, you probably would never have come to Nikko, for the 18,000 City residents had real village character and is not offered so much to see.

There was also a Turafikujamu (traffic jam) and so was not the way towards the temple really pleasant. But when we were through the town, offered us take the first sight, a sacred bridge, on which only the Shogun convert allowed and still allowed, there would be another one! A very popular photo , so we made a p recordings aar (I actually 2, the freaks 200). Then, purely in a park and we were middle of the action!

The first temple was us! And the leaves around was actually dye already in the process to a very pretty sight!

From there it went to the next temple, the name I unfortunately forgot all and the look does not help further, but the next was the temple with the famous three monkeys,

the say no evil, hear and see. Very nice property resembles, but rather to Thailand

because in Japan, but they are just the Japanese, do not be shy influences from other cultures to integrate into your own! (At least when it suits them ...)

Because in Japan will be dark very early, close the temple, unfortunately, already at 16:30, so we made our way slowly to a slightly more remote temples.

This is, I do not think many tourists on the list because he is a bit wild and overgrown, but I just found this made him very charming! And containing no other tourists were there, whatever that may even be pleasant! ;-)

Then we wanted to eat something now, best Sushi! But probably because the place was a holiday and also by many other tourists is visited, the prices were very expensive and we just bought a snack in the conbines ( Convenience Store ) and headed back to Tokyo. The plan: Sushi in the assembly line Asakusa. To make it short, it was not exactly cheap, but worth every yen! The freshest and best sushi of my life ( Sun fare )!

(Thanks Henning for the insider tip)

Then it went a bit tired but very full and satisfied, even back home! A successful trip!
