Nikko


Changing atmosphere today with some pictures of temples and forests from Nikko.

Located in the mountains at about 140km north of Tokyo, Nikko was in the VIIIe century a powerful religious (Buddhist then Shintoist) center. Today, the site has been classified as part of the Unesco World Heritage program and is a very popular destination for Japanese and international tourists.
