Got up a little earlier than usual today and met up with my parents for a 2 and a half hour train ride to Nikko. Last time I was in Nikko was in 2005 and then I arrived at the Tobu-Nikko Station but this time we arrived at Nikko station. I asked the station guy for help, but he wasn't very helpful so after looking at some of the maps they had there we figured out that the Tobu-Nikko station was just up the road with a helpful information center. After a 5 minute walk we got there, got the info we needed and headed out in search of a place to eat before going to the Temples.
After lunch we got on the bus and headed to Toshogu Shrine. In that area there are a bunch of shrines and temples all in one area so you can see a lot in a small area. Some of the temples you have to climb a lot of stairs but the view at the top is almost always worth it. We checked out all the cool places and headed home around 6:00.
After a long train ride home, we got back into Tokyo, grabbed dinner, and went back to the hotel.
