Far from Spring

I enjoyed the springlike weekend in Tokyo but this weekend I was back to winter again. Anyway, I went to Shrines and temples in Nikko which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. I was really impressed with the multicolored carvings and really beautiful view.





Nikko Toshogu is dedicated to Ieyasu Tokugawa, and this is the grave.


Then I enjoyed walking the snowy trail from Takinoo Shrine to Kanmangafuchi.









I still miss warm spring a lot but the snowy day trip wasn't so bad actually. The snow-covered Nikko was neat, so called "Wabi-Sabi".
