Scene in Nikko

Well, its autumn in Japan and soon will be winter. So me and my colleagues from the lab went to Nikko to search for the autumn leaves.
In the train, on the way on the way there, we got a glimpse to what is part of the Japan Alps (I think).



















Unfortunately, it was already snowing on the way up to the Yumoto . Hence, there were no more autumn leaves to be sighted.















Nevertheless, we turned our journey to waterfalls sighting instead. Starting from the highest point in Nikko:

Yudaki. 'Taki' means waterfall in Japanese language.



















Kodaki















Ryuzu Falls. Its a twin waterfall :)















There is actually another waterfall, known as the Kegon Falls, but I missed that.
Down in the Nikko town, we finally saw some autumn leaves as it was warmer there. Happy :D





























The Shinkyo Bridge or Bridge of Gods.















Nikko is also a World Heritage Site. Next trip there I will surely visit the Shogun Temple 'Toshogu' etc.
