Tochigi

My first time seeing snow! かまくら祭(Kamakura Festival/Matsuri) is held in winter each year in Yunishigawa, Nikko, Tochigi Pref., which lasts about one month. At that period, various cute snowmen will be handmade by local people and put in front of their houses and shops. And the dreamy scenery by the river at night time is certificated as one of the historical-culture night views in Japan.

Here to tell you where to travel in Kanto,Tohoku(North,East) Japan for seeing autumn leaves. Nikko in Tochigi, Urabandai in Fukushima, Hirosaki, kuroishi in Aomori, Naruko Gorge in Miyagi, Karuizawa in Nagano.

Day-2 journey of Lake-chuzenji,Nikko. Although it is dim, cloudy day, somehow this lighting matches the tone of the forest, Odashirogahara Moor,Senjogahara Moor.

Follow by the bike trip route in Lake Chuzenji,Nikko in Ch.1, here comes the British, Italia Embassy Villa Memorial Park,a place perfect for couples,dating.

Chuzenji,Nikko is a beautiful town in Tochigi Prefecture, a place not far from Tokyo, has really stunning views. It has been recommended by Lonely Planet. One of the perfect time to visit is late October when the color of autumn leaves there come to a peak.
