Nikko- 2(Senjogahara Marshland Hiking)

One thing that I really wanted to do in Nikko is Hiking.
There are several hiking courses in Senjogahara Marshland that lie to the north of Lake Chuzenzi.

70 minutes by Tobu bus to the bus stop "Yutaki" where I started to walk.
The crowded bus left Tobu Nikko bus stop and headed to Yumoto Onsen.
It was beautiful view from bus windows... Irohazaka Winding Road, 1200m above the sea Lake Chuzenji... lushly green mountains.

My hiking plan is Senjogahara Marshland Nature Trail hiking. Start from Yutaki and head to Akanuma. After taking break start walking again to Ryuzunotaki bus stop.

Nikko- 1(Toshogu Shrine)

Nikko.
About 2 hours from Tokyo by train.
A town in Tochigi Prefecture.
Toshogu Shrine. Other shrines and temples, beautiful Lake Chuzenzi, Kegon Waterfall, Senjogahara Marshland locate in Nikko National Park.

I thought Nikko is a perfect destination for Golden Week Trip!
Sightseeing traditional shrines and temples, lovely famous sleeping cat carving in Toshogu, hiking in marshland, fresh country air... Aren't they wonderful?

OK. Let's go to Nikko!

a lovely wooden bridge "shinkyo(sacred bridge)" was constructed in 1636.
this bridge stands at the entrance to shrines and temples.

Cats Paradise- Enoshima- Island

It was 10 months ago, since I visited Enoshima Island last time.
It was in June, rainy day.

This time in April, sunny day. Enoshima Railways is still lovely, and the island is lovely too.
There was a lot of people in this small island since we are in Golden Week in Japan.
(We have many holidays in early May. It called Golden Week).

Everywhere crowded, yes. But it is a good opportunity to go out!
So I headed to Enoshima Island for letting my friend know lovely Enoshima island.

beautiful Southern Coast near caves.
there is nothing but ocean.
