Japan Images: Nikko Bric-a-Brac Store

April 17th, 2010

I found this store as I was heading back to the train station after spending a day in Nikko, which is about 2 hours north of Tokyo. It really stood out to me as it looked particularly Western amongst everything else along the street. I can’t tell you what I expected a second-hand store in Japan to look like but it wasn’t like this ^_^

Japan Images: Nikko Autumn Leaves

December 5th, 2009

I had decided before arriving in Japan on a recent visit to Tokyo that I would make the two hour trip north to Nikko at some point during our stay.

We got the usual Tokyo clouds and/or light drizzle on most days but thankfully on the morning that it counted I woke up to a spectacular winter’s day, which helped make the visit to Nikko an unforgettable experience.
