I still had a free travelday on my seichun hiachu kippu, so today i went for some free train travel on this ticket (kippu). I visited the two most contrasting places in Japan (Nikko, the world heritage site of the old meji era and Yokohama, the most bustling city in japan), so i decided to update them also seperately. Maybe due the contrast it was an amazing day with a lot of fun. First it is nikko's turn. Nikko is a small town a few hours north of Tokyo and it hosted japans most important world heritage site. Nikko's history goes back to the middle of the 8th century and houses many temples, shrines and torii's. It was a very interesting visit, with a lot of beautiful old buildings but also a lot of kitsch and colours.
