Nikko

After 2.5 hours of different trains we arrived at Nikko, near Tokyo in the mountain.
These are many shrines all around
But mainly they are famous for the 3 monkeys: Children should hear no evil, say no evil, see no evil
But there, there are many other beautiful things like these 2 elephants
Or just amazingly colorful temples
and a lot of decorations everywhere
Like here on this door, with many buddhas.
But to go there you have to take many steps, not so easy but it was not so hot today so we managed!
Here some decoration of the main door that is under maintenance
To finish a red Pagoda
And the famous bridge. But you cannot step on it...
