This one's for you DanchTime to see more of Nikko's intricate, jaw-dropping, very old gates, shrines and templesnestled amongst the forestOne of them was built over 800 years more than 1200 years ago.Some of the roof tops are painted in gold which shone brightly even on this grey dayThis is a sacred horsethis is a sacred horse buttIt's customary to wash your hands before entering a temple. You can even rinse out your mouth and spit in the trench to cleanse your good selfAfter lots of walking we earned a hearty breakfast and Mick found the best doughnut in JapanEven the drains in Nikko are something to beholdIt was a much nicer day for the walk back to the stationWe stayed near the airport for an early flight.
