30/10 Nikko, Hakone

Today we toured the most central sites of Nikko. This includes many temples, a treasure house, and a japaneese garden. We began our tour with the garden, which made on both of us a great impression. Beautyful colours, and spectial smells of trees and their wonderful leafes with all colours of the rainbow with the background of the temples and the pagodas with their red-brown colours.
The temples are most beautyful. The three buddha's statues are more than 3 meters high.
Around noontime we took the trains (regular trains and Shinkanzens) back to Tokyo station and from there via Odaware to Hakone.
Hakone is a wonderful town south of Tokyo, quite close the Fuji mountain. Today we went to a swimming pool complex, where we tried all kinds of very special bathes. Jakoozies, and beer bath are only two examples.
Fabulous dinner in the hotel has just put the final accord on this happy day.
