Day 1: Our Momijigari Holiday :)

Nikko famed for its autumn hues was on our to-go places during autumn. The theme for this holiday is momijigari. :) 

Shinkyo bridge stands at the entrance of Nikko's shrines and temples. 

From the bridge, we strolled to Toshogu Shrine. Every angle is photo worthy. :)

Day 1: Autumn with Wendy & Lin :)

Despite reminding ourselves not to take any red eye flight, we were on it again. :))) We arrived in Haneda Airport at 6am...we definitely needed some perk-me-up.

It was to the car rental company to pick up our car after breakfast, officially starting our momijigari vacay to Nikko. The drive was approximately 3 hours. The timing was perfect and we arrived on time for traditional soba lunch at Santate Soba Nagahataan. 

Santate Soba Nagahataan is one of the most famous soba restaurants in Nikko. This place serves nothing but buckwheat soba, so if you are one who loves variety, you need to manage your expectation when visiting. :)

As for dessert, we had kiwis! :D
