Gab's Nikko Blog Post!

Gab here!


All the international students went on an excursion to Nikko to explore the area, where there are spiritual and traditional shrines and temples.


We caught a train from Kasukabe to Nikko very early. When we arrived the weather wasn't the best as it was a freezing -1 degrees and there was a little snow as well.

We walked through the forest looking at the different buildings all with different meanings and unique styles. Most of the buildings had animals and mythical creatures on them which had particular meaning to them as well. We could see gifts that countries had sent to Japan.


Though the weather wasn't great it was still a great experience and was great to learn some Japanese history and about Nikko. It was also nice to freely speak English for a change and spent time with people who share a similar life to me.
