Nikko | 100 times less popular than Kyoto, it's a part of Japan you've never been to.

Nikko is located in the Kanto region, 👀 a city in the northern part of Tochigi Prefecture, about 2 hours' drive from Tokyo. 🤔 Many domestic friends may be unfamiliar with the name Nikko, but it is a popular place for viewing maple leaves among Tokyo locals, and it is no less popular than Kyoto~ At the same time, ✅ the hot springs here are as famous as Hakone and Atami, and it's so cool to take a bath while watching the red leaves~ - You can go to Irohazaka and Kanto's top red leaf spot "Lake Chuzenji" to see the maple leaves in Nikko, 💥 as well as the "Ryuzu Falls" where the red leaves and waterfalls are in the same frame. Among them, Irohazaka, I have to say more❗️ It is one of the representative beautiful sceneries of Nikko and a slope road leading to Lake Chuzenji. Because there are 48 bends, the red leaf scenery here is more dangerous and beautiful! By the way~ 🙈 This is also one of the classic locations of the famous anime "Initial D". - Hot springs! In addition to Kinugawa Onsen! Nikko Yumoto Onsen is also worth choosing! This hot spring town is located in the deep mountains near Lake Yuno (Lake Yunoko). If you have time and are interested, you can walk to the nearby Yunohei Marsh, which is the source of the hot springs. There you can see a group of low wooden houses with equipment such as water pumps for extracting hot spring water.
