Return to Nikko

We checked out of the Gracery Hotel, and walked the short distance to Asakusa Station to catch the Asakusa-Nikko Limited Express to Nikko Station. There was a luxury lounge carriage at the front of the train with a film crew which we saw later in the day at the shrine.

We had an old-style French-cooking dinner at the hotel.Read more
