Nikko is a
small colorful city in the Toshigi prefecture, famous for Tokugawa Ieyasu
shrine, and for its Koyo or autumn colors.
Nikko Koyo is
particularly long due to large different elevations between the area around the
city and the mountains, giving the town a majestic background during the autumn
and early winter season.
The Nikko “sacred
bridge”, underwent large renovations and it is now open to the public, you can
now walk across this bridge (you need to pay a fee).
The site is
quite popular with international and domestic visitors and it may get a bit
crowded during the autumn season, but the beauty of the place and the
relatively closeness to Tokyo, make it a perfect one day trip.
