Travelling to Japan, including Nikko, late October this year! I can’t wait!

[@the-creativenomad]

Ahh that's amazing!! 🧡 It would be such a dream to see Japan and Nikko in autumn... Let me know if you post anything as I'd love to see the colours and scenery in another season. Japan wasn't even on my radar until my partner suggested it, and now I know why people go back! Hope you have THE BEST time 😍😍

[@realmarine125]

@@the-creativenomad Thank you very much! I will certainly take a lot of pictures and videos of everything that I will see. Autumn colours should be amazing at the heights of Oku-Nikko around the time I will be visiting, here's hoping the weather will be good. I will also tour through much of the southern part of Honshu. Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, Koyasan, Hiroshima, and finally the especially gorgeous Miyajima island. It will be a good time. And not only that, I will also visit Singapore and Australia before going to Japan!

@@realmarine125 How incredible... Sounds like it'll be a life-changing trip! Have the best travels ✈🥰

[@nutrats]

Hi! Where did you find the bus stop to board the bus from to Kegon falls? ❤

[@the-creativenomad]

Hello hello! Do you mean the bus stop to board to Kegon Falls from the Nikko Train station? 💙

[@nutrats]

Yes! And how were you able to uncover the bus schedule for the day? I tried to hunt online but wasn’t able to find any information 🙂

[@the-creativenomad]

@@nutrats Right! That's interesting - one thing we found was that Japan is so incredibly advanced in some types of technology, but with others, not so much... We actually spoke with the tour guide at the train station who gave us a map with the bus route, etc. I think it's actually easier to find info online in other countries - but physical maps + brochures are actually more helpful in Japan 😙

[@the-creativenomad]

@@nutrats I recall we picked up the map at either Nikko Train Station or a train station in Tokyo before we boarded our train to Nikko 🙃

Rent private tours its better ​@@nutrats
