While Keita was at football... the rest of us: One Day of "Golden Week" in Nikko

Mar and I on the Ginza line to Asakusa - where we got on the TobuNikko line to go to Nikko!

Water bus from Asakusa that goes to Odaiba! Went on it with a special someone not too long ago, but the weather was shittier then! Anyway, just a nice pic of the Sumidagawa River (me thinketh!)

Me and Mar on a bridge at Asakusa

Me with my "宇宙に行く人みたいなヘッドフォーンズ" - ママ ("headphones that make me look like I'm going to space!"-mummy!) and my very smiley dad!

A pic on the move in the tunnel which leads to the..........


Absolutely stunning Kegon waterfallllll! (華厳の滝)

It was soooooo beautiful. It's a pity I have no idea how to add videos onto a blog, or if that's even possible, because a photo just does not do this waterfall justice. Apparently, many years ago, a Tokyo University student committed suicide here and left a beautiful but sad poem (but that is a TOTALLY different story.... ) Anyway, the weather yesterday was gorgeous, and this was definitely a sight worth getting up in the morning for.

The waterfall's stunning fresh water comes from this calm, serene, beautiful lake. This picture is taken from the more touristy side which unfortunately was the only part of the lake we had time to visit yesterday. It was so peaceful being surrounded by mountains, and having the fresh water right in front of me. Lovely.
