My host family was kind enough to drive my roommate and I out to Nikko for a day trip. =) No wonder everyone recommends going there! It is absolutely gorgeous! It is a nice change of pace from the busy city-life of Tokyo. As my roommate said, “I finally feel like I’m in Japan”. Seriously, if you ever get the chance to take a day trip out to anywhere near Tokyo go to Nikko. I promise you will not regret it. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but you get to see the place where the Tokugawa shogunate resided. Now how awesome is that?
