We have been to Nikko , Tochigi, enjoyed Toshogu, Taiyu-in and Edo wonderland. My first alone-trip was in my early twenty and I went there for Taiyuin's Water Mirror Dragon. (I could not see it because I lost my way) . After two decades, I went to Toshogu with my family, but I could not see the Dragon of Taiyuin due to reconstruction. And this time, finally I visited there.
Of course the Toshogu is great shrine and I like it too, but I like Taiyuin more. You can feel the long history and Bushi worriers' buddhism.
We stayed Kanaya Hotel, one of the most famous historical hotel. That was gorgeous and we all loved it. The second day, we enjoyed Edo Wonderland. I was really impressed that there were some Samurai from abroad. And they have Samurai hearts, Caucasian Samurai and South American ?maybe ? Samurai were crossing with bows each other, which is really beautiful scene.
We have been there until the closing time. Villagers of Edo Wonderland stands and farewell to visiters.
To the Samurai who was in the Edo Wonderland on the 6th of April , 2025! Thank you for your great Samurai attitude! I was really moved.
