A scenic drive from Nikko to Tokyo.
April 2, 2024

"The next time you visit Japan, plan to spend time north of Tokyo in the Tochigi Prefecture, where you will enjoy national forests, waterfalls, important World Heritage sites and natural hot springs.

There, you will find Nikko, a beautiful, historic and peaceful place, away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. Visitors have flocked to Nikko since the opening of the railway in the late 19th century---westerners, in particular, were attracted to the area, particularly its Lake Chuzenji, where they would spend their holidays, as the landscape is reminiscent of the British Lake District and the European Alps.

Nikko also has an incredible history as it is the location of important Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Anyone planning to attend the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics should be sure to arrive early or stay longer to spend time in Nikko."

"Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō) is Japan's capital and the world's most populous metropolis. It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center. The Izu and Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo.

Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo. Previously a small castle town, Edo became Japan's political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. A few decades later, Edo had grown into one of the world's largest cities. With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the emperor and capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo ("Eastern Capital"). Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the air raids of 1945.

Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors. The city's history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens. Contrary to common perception, Tokyo also offers a number of attractive green spaces in the city center and within relatively short train rides at its outskirts."
