Really, Nikko is Nippon !
From 12th Aug to 14th Aug ` 2008
Trip to Nikko - A lovely place with World Heritage "Toshogu shrine" with other attractions like Water Falls, Greenery, Lovely Resorts, in Rain (Now) seasons, magnificent colored autumn leaves in Autumn. We happen to visit this place just towards the end of rainy season. If you see the snaps it will remind you of hill station places in India like Mussouri, Dalhousie, and why not Chikhaldhara in Rainy Season. Its like you are a "Gulliver in the Lilliput Country"
Route We took:
Kita toda--> Omiya --> Kasukabe --> Shimo Imaichi -->Tobu Nikko Station
Took around 3 hours.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tobu World Square - It is a place near Nikko (around 45 min) and is famous for their exquisite reproductions to 1/25th of the original sizes of 102 historic relics and architectures in the world,
It is divided into
1. Modern Japan Zone
2. Old Japan Zone
3. America Zone
4. Egypt Zone
5. Europe Zone
6. Asia Zone
We liked Europe Zone and Old Japan Zone the most and discovered some amazing sculptures of the world.
In Europe France, Italy and Spain were the best places.
Route We took from Nikko
Tobu Nikko Station --> Shimo Imaichi --> Kosagoe
