Rode on the shinkansen out to Nikko
it goes fast and makes for very happy Mick
We arrived to some slight drizzle
which had turned into a downpour by the time we got to our accommodation
The traffic jam made the walk faster even if you had a R32 GTR VSPEC2
The inn host Naomi took pity on us and opened the onsen early so we could hop in the hot spring and warm up before our visit to the stone Buddah
Our room with a view was the perfect place to wind down after three full on Tokyo days
Then it was time to get lost again looking for somewhere to have dinner and what a place to be lost. There are shrines and temples everywhere; after 3pm the place was empty and with the fog settling in it was other worldly
This is the place to go when you're in Nikko
you get to eat whole little fishes - oy shikata! The Kaiseki-ryori is about 10 courses, some of the best food I've ever had. For 15500yen you get raw fish, sardines, soups, all of the things.
