Los mejores colores de otoño ya están en Nikko!
En post anteriores les hablamos sobre Okunikko, Yumoto onsen, etc… Ahora es el momento ideal para visitar el area de Chuzenji, pero también existe una muy buena opción para disfrutar los maravillosos colores: Kirifuri. Su naturaleza y la impactante catarata de 75 metros de altura ofrecen un espectáculo inolvidable.
Para llegar, tomar el autobus Tobu con dirección a Kirifuri Kogen desde las estaciones JR Nikko o Tobu Nikko, y bajarse en Kirifuri no Taki.
Koyo, the beautiful autumn foliage, is now peaking in Nikko.
If you are around the area, we highly recommend that you visit Oku-Nikko for amazing views. Right now Ryuzu Waterfall is specially beautiful. From JR or Tobu Nikko Station, take the Tobu bus for Yumoto Onsen and get off at stop 38, one after Ryuzu no taki. From the bridge over Yukawa River (right next to the bus stop) you will be able to enjoy the impressive view. Then keep walking following the river downstream for about 300 meters and you will get to Ryuzu Waterfall. There’s a souvenier shop and a local restaurant with a deck with an amazing view, perfect to enjoy a warm dish after the walk!
If you missed it in May, you should see it this time!
