Nikko 1 day trip EP.1 natural zone trip❄️

Visit Nikko in the winter. No driving, no sleepless sleep. Take an early morning train from Tokyo on a snowy day. It's so rewarding. Brief summary for lazy people to read and scroll through the pictures. 👇🏻 The main spot will be a hit for tourists with little time.

❄️ Chuzenji Lake

🍵 Coffee shop / handmade goods

🍜 Ramen shop

🗻 Kegon Falls

Nikko may be one of many people's destinations, the highlight of which is a World Heritage City full of architecture, many old temples and surrounded by nature that is still well cherished.

Our trip may be very short (usually it takes at least 2 days), but with limited time, this time I would like to be one day, in order to make a plan for friends who are interested in following.

👉🏻 start by going to NIKKO's website. There are different types of pass details. But as we went one day, we only bought a train ticket instead. It was the Tobu-Nikko line. The first station at Asakusa was almost 2 hours long, it reached the Tobu-Nikko station. (There is another way, for those who bought a JR wide pass, but that one had to go around the car, not a long ride like this line).

After we get to the Tobu-Nikko station, there is a restaurant. The community can walk together. But in a hurry, I would like to get to the top of Chujizen Lake first. By taking the bus [I'll put the bus table on it. It's not difficult]. Use the IC card to touch it. Take a 40-minute ride to Chujizen onzen station. The top says that the weather is different from the bottom and there is an uncontrollable variable of "wind" that makes us shake even more.

With fighting and wanting a beautiful picture, walk to take a picture of the bridge, the lake (the spot with the red torii pole and the G7 NIKKO sign). There are hardly any people on either side. The shop is hardly open 😂 until we meet the cafe.

Keep going by walking to the waterfall.น้ำตกเคงง(Kegon Falls) If you want to take a picture from the top, you can do it. The picture is beautiful. It is a high-angle feed. If you want to get close, you can go down the elevator to the bottom 300 yen each (cash only) to see the beauty. Wherever you look, the waterfall will be whitened by the snow.

Before taking the bus down to the World Heritage Zone (per EP.2), let's stop by for lunch on this place and finish at the store.らーめん屋敷Moving a little from the cafe (opposite the bus station) is a ramen shop that thinks it's the most original taste. A mild, not salty, cup, get orders, serve and charge by one of your uncles.

Let's finish EP.1, but only this. Next, we'll review the World Heritage Zone.
