Nikko

Last Sunday we did a day trip to Nikko, nice mountain area 3-4 hours from Tokyo by car. And finally experienced the famous japanese onsen. Onsen is a hot bath which gets its water from hot spring. It was just like hot baths in Hungary. I loved it...so relaxiting. Oh, and they had also sauna. I had to survive one month without sauna so it was about the time to get in one.


They have pretty good service in gas stations around here. There were three guys cleaning the windows while one was filling the tank.


After 4 hour driving we arrived to the Nikko. Hee, try to guess who was sleeping like a baby most of the time.

Here you have some pictures from the trip.








Didn't got a picture of the monkey I saw but this small fellow was more willing to pose us. Hee, it was really funny to see monkey sitting on a fence in center of Nikko town. :)






This kind of views are always facinating...we lack mountains in Finland.
