Nikko, Japan, 日光 日本, 休み (take two minutes to relax)

Nikko, Japan. Tochigi prefecture. Taking a short 'time out' to rest, I went to Nikko. A small mountain town in Tochigi prefecture. These are the clips I shot during the visit.
For a HD version (better picture) see video responses (below).
Please note that the Shakuhachi is played by Marco Lienhard from the Album 'Leonard and his friends' (which you can buy from iTunes). I don't know the man myself but love his music and thus think he deserves to get 'plugged' here. In a way this video could be viewed as tribute to his skills and to a Japan that is disappearing little by little.
Please enjoy.

My pleasure.

Super glad you liked the clip.

Nikko is nice, even though I live about three hours away I go there quite often.

Have a beautiful day.

I actually cried...this was very magical to me.. :')

[Peekingduck]

Sorry to hear that. Right now is peak season for people that want to see the koyo.

I went of the beaten path on a rainy day and at a later hour than most tourists would like to.

To me, Nikko is more relaxing and beautiful that way.

Happy you liked the clips.

Thanks !

It's been a pretty surreal day and night.

I was in a luck area but many weren't.

Be well

Haha No. It was the music, it's very beautiful and after the recent tragedy in Japan it became very emotional.

Thank you, I hope you have a safe and nice weekend as well.
