A peaceful escape from the city


Japan's stretch of consecutive national holidays in May, known as "Golden Week," is probably the most popular time for people here to go on vacation. Flights and hotels are extremely expensive (over 10 times more to go to Guam during Golden Week according to my research), but as I have found out, the freeways become less expensive (only ten dollars to go as long as you please).

Hiking to the falls




As for Sami and I, we were taken to Nikko to go hiking with Miho's family for a day. The sky was threatening to rain all day, but we ended up having a dry day, and perfect temperatures for hiking around. I highly suggest this place as a fun day out of the city, and it can even be reached by train. Nikko is around 2.5 hours from Tokyo by car.




I wanted to swim in this pool


And this waterfall's pool too

NIKKO is the most beautiful place in Chiba..
I have visited it twice and I still long to
go there...it's like paradise on earth.
Japanese have preserved it for the next
generation...

Thanks for the comment. Nikko is great, isn't it!
One thing I have to note is that Nikko is not in Chiba, it's in Tochigi.

The last picture and the fact that you don't bang any of these girl makes think that you are completely GAY.
