First of many wonderful sights in Nikko. Originally the bridge formed by two serpants connecting with each other at the behest of the godlike figure who was answering the prayers of Shodo Shorin whoЧитать далее

Absolutely incredible. The Tosho-gu shrine.
ПутешественникIs it similar to Kyoto? I think you visited Kyoto during previous visit...
ПутешественникSimilar, but I think I like Nikko best. Of course it was too hot when I visited Kyoto, and lovely and cold here.
ПутешественникI bet there are less tourists in Nikko. And if it similar, making a note what to visit when I'm in Japan 😊
Gojunoto, without the shrimp

Do you recognize this Pagoda? This is the real one, that was modeled with shrimp in Tokyo.
Staying in a Ryoken
12 января 2024 г., Япония ⋅ ☁️ 36 °F
Still up in the mountains, within the Nikko National Park. Kiyomi and I are staying in a traditional, centuries old, Japanese Ryoken.
ПутешественникI'm glad to see you're having such a beautiful time and sharing it with Kiyomi 😍
ПутешественникJust like you were in Moscow, Lena, Kiyomi is being an incredible host here in Japan.
ПутешественникI really like seeing travel with locals, it's different from what you can take as a tourist. Many kudos to Kiyomi
ПутешественникFingers crossed. Now I want to visit Japan too...I need to find job with a lot of money for doing nothing 😂
My first Onsen
12 января 2024 г., Япония ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F
Yep, I got naked and sat in a hot spring while it snowed. It was absolutely wonderful.
ПутешественникA natural hot spring. There are a lot of rules and etiquette for how you need to be.
ПутешественникInteresting, never heard of it. But seems like what we all need from time to time
ПутешественникThe contrast, yep. And I didn't mention you finally get into snow, yohoo.
Shogun

Morning in Yunishigawa

I had the inn to myself this morning. Wandering this old world building all in my own. Heading to the airport shortly.
ПутешественникYou get a real sense of this ancient tradition of being a guest at Ryoken. Really cool.
Breakfast time at the Ryoken

ПутешественникRachel invited me to visit Japan and after your pictures I seriously consider this...
Time to return to Tokyo
13 января 2024 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 27 °F
Time to leave the Ryoken and drive back to Nikko, for the return trip to Tokyo
ПутешественникWhat a wonderful journey. But promise me and your mom that next time you're wearing jacket and hat in a snow

A quick picture on the way back to Nikko
Ikinari-dango
13 января 2024 г., Япония ⋅ ☁️ 37 °F
A Japanese delicacy. Pretty good.
After 10am, time for a Nikko Beer
13 января 2024 г., Япония ⋅ ☁️ 37 °F
A light but herbal beer. Very refreshing and unique. This is brewed by the famous Kanaya Hotel. Like all things Nikko, the monkeys are on the label.

Last train for today

On the Skyliner heading to Narita. Just said goodbye to Kiyomi
ПутешественникI like the barrier on the platform. In Russia there are too many incidents because we don't have anything like that

Arriving in a rainy California
13 января 2024 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
Strange flight path, a lot of flying in circles.
Time to start my second Saturday. I left Tokyo at 5:30 pm on Saturday and after 8 hours, it's 9:20 am on Saturday. I'll be so tired by end of today 😴
ПутешественникFast recovery 😊 The flight way is because Russia sky is close for foreign planes and it's a huge problem for Asian airlines except Chinese as they doubling km on it's way. Hopefully it wasn't that bad overall
ПутешественникNo, I think yes it's all about San Francisco air traffic control. The flight was normal until we got here
ПутешественникOh, maybe yes. As I saw on the flight to Turkey, they found the corridor which works for everyone
ПутешественникYeah. This flight for me is mostly over the Pacific as I'm heading East.
ПутешественникMaybe a little bit of diversion at the start of the flight
Stuck

The jet bridge won't move, so we're all queued up to get off, but they can't open the door yet. Maintenance are on their way.
ПутешественникI escaped. I'm sitting outside now, just waiting for my son
Enjoying the rain
