Nikko with the Woods


Nikko is a city of shrines that date back to 766AD,
and autumn is the perfect time to visit!







Feeding the Coy fish






Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil
(very famous shrine)


Then of course if you want a key chain to remember this site.....

Taking off our shoes prior to entering a sacred temple



Our last day in Nikko we took a hike to Urami Falls 



Praying to their God?





We love Nikko

Lovely scenery. My favorite is the family shot in front of the bridge.

Absolutely unbelieveable colors... Great photography and scenery! Who would believe that in a few months, those colors will be all pinks and whites?? Amazing country! Love, Mom
