Nikko Visit (very briefly)

I had a brief visit to Nikko on Thursday.

It was a very cold day and from what I understand, it had the first snow of the season.

Shinkyo,the Sacred Bridge, spans across Daiya River to Futarasan Shrine.

Here's a view from the bridge - very beautiful in new snow.

Then we drover over to the entrance to the Toshogu Shrine.

The entrance way to the shrine.

Here's the first gate into the shrine - I chose not to enter it for the lack of time.

There was a nice Five Story Pagoda right next to the gate.
