Entering the Shrine at Narita
Purifying ourselves with the water prior to entering the shrine.Our first stop in Japan was Narita, a small but quaint town with some stunning temples of its own. Photos show the temples in the evening dusk, the area had a peaceful atmosphere.
Next we headed north to Nikko on the impressively efficient and spotless Shinkansen trains (high speed trains). Nikko is in the lake district of Japan.
Our photos show the famous Toshogu Temple and surrounding area, which contained many amazing buildings. One unlikely inhabitant was a white horse, a present to Japan from New Zealand.
We enjoyed lots of walking in Nikko's surrounding mountains and lakes including the impressive Kegon Falls and Chuzenji lake.
