I've come to Nikko,
one of Tokyo's most popular day trips
so if you are looking for somewhere to come then this is certainly the place for shrines, temples
and definitely having a great day away from the mega city of Tokyo
and today I'm going to show you around
what there is to see, what you might be interested in
I'm here in front of the tobu Railway
but there's two ways of actually getting here
one of them is JR and the other one is tobu
you can choose depending on where you are in Tokyo
let's check it out!
tourist information, always handy to ask places to go, where to eat
and how to get to the different locations Etc
always check out the tourist information if you can
hi thank you ..
so we're here right now and um
we're gonna make our way to this area here
which is basically where all the temples and shrines Etc are
like the historical part but
um there's two ways of of doing it you can get a bus from here to to over here
or you can walk and all the walking routes are actually very easy to follow
takes about 30 minutes so
catch you in the historical area
[Music]
tourists flock to visit the many temples and shrines and experience Japan's Rich cultural heritage
however today I'll take a stroll to one of Nico's most famous and beautiful locations Toshogu Shrine
known for its historical significance
cultural heritage
and intricate decorations
I could spend hours just looking at all the different carvings
there is a carving of a giraffe
and the giraffe is a symbol of peace
I wonder if you can find the giraffe if you ever come here to the shrine
[Music]
and check out the cat
You might be able to spot it too
its apparently one of the most famous carvings
or one of the most popular carvings in this shire anyway.
One of the great things about Nikko
is the historical sites like the ones that we've been visiting today
but also the natural beauty that we're going to be checking out now
many people don't Venture past the temples and Shrine area or the town
but
it really is worth traveling a little further ahead
to Lake shuzenji or lake Unoko which was incredibly picturesque this time of year
Nico is known for its natural beauty
and coming here in the winter
I'm scared because I don't know where the edge of the of the lake is anyway
so I'm being very cautious
I finish my day by visiting an Onsen in Nikko
Nikkoo is a great place to try out Onsen too
