Nikko, Tochigi 🍂🍁
If you're looking for an unforgettable destination next fall, I highly recommend Kegon Falls. Located just a 3-hour drive from NAF Atsugi, this stunning natural wonder is a must-see. The free observation deck offers a magnificent view of the falls from above, but for a more intimate experience, you can purchase a ticket to ride the escalator down to get closer to the cascading water. Whether you’re admiring the falls from a distance or feeling their power up close, Kegon Falls is a perfect fall getaway.
In addition to the breathtaking waterfalls, the area is rich in cultural experiences. There are numerous temples to explore, each offering a glimpse into Japan’s spiritual history, as well as several museums where you can learn about the local heritage and natural beauty. It's a perfect blend of nature, culture, and history.
I’m currently organizing my files, and as I go through them, I’ll be sharing the beautiful places I’ve had the pleasure of visiting during my time in Japan. This post marks the first in a series of snapshots from my travels. Stay tuned for more!
