Nikko 🌟

This small town, embraced by mountains and forests, not only boasts a UNESCO World Heritage-listed cluster of shrines and temples but also has stunning natural scenery. 🎢🍃 You can visit all the major attractions in just one day: Nikko Futarasan Shrine⛩️, the resplendent and intricately carved Toshogu Shrine, and Rinno-ji Temple, whose entire architectural complex is surrounded by a forest🌳, creating a deep and serene atmosphere. Nikko is also renowned for its craftsmanship: Nikko carving, originating from the Edo period, often features patterns inspired by plants and animals, with exquisite attention to detail. Kano-kumiko is a traditional lattice craft that relies solely on precise interlocking without adhesives. 🎢🍃 The workshops offer courses to make coasters and other decorative items, which are incredibly delicate. I'd call them the best souvenirs🎁! 🏨 Hotel: fufu Nikko From Fuji-Hakone-Izu to Karuizawa, and now Nikko, fufu has consistently delivered. From the Japanese-style garden to the room interiors, every detail exudes an elegant and refined Japanese aesthetic. 🎢🍃 The best part is that each room comes with a private open-air bath, allowing you to soak in the hot spring and enjoy the mountain views without even leaving your room. #Japan 🌿🌟
