Two barren mountain shrines, two barren mountain shrines, two people in kimono out of the mirror. The kimono www.biquge.info the pen "fun" pavilion is actually quite comfortable, but the fabric is not breathable, although the daylight is much cooler than Tokyo, but walking and climbing stairs, it is still very hot, only the thighs and buttocks are very cool. Futaarayama Shrine comes out of Futarayama Shrine, and on the right hand side is Daiyu-in.

Oyu-in Temple is the spiritual temple of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. Tokugawa Iemitsu is the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Iemitsu himself is not liked by his father Tadahide, who is a second-generation shogun, and it is precisely because of the support of his strong grandfather that he finally sat in the position of shogun, so he respects Tokugawa Ieyasu from the bottom of his heart, and Toshogu Palace was expanded to its current scale under the instructions of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Before he died, Tokugawa Iemitsu chose his tomb next to his grandfather's tomb to protect it. Compared with the splendor of Toshogu Palace, the architecture of Daiyuin Temple has a touch of elegance, and although it cannot be compared with Toshogu Palace in terms of architectural scale, it has its own unique style.

Compared with the Tang Gate of Toshogu Palace, the Dayouin Temple is really much simpler. The bronze lanterns next to the temple are all from the various periods of the Imperial Family. The Okunomiya of the Daiyuin Temple is not open, and you can only get a glimpse of the demeanor of the three generations of generals from outside the gateThe Daiyuin Temple has to say that Nikko is really suitable for visiting in kimonos, and it is very appropriate for the surrounding scenery.

Oyuin Yukiro's favorite Oyuin's Mitarai, the perfect combination of blue and gold, Oyuin Oyuin is still the Meiji Noon of choice, mainly because of the delicious cuisine, and there are really few choices around. Today's soup pumpkin soup, the soup is mellow and slightly sweet, the pumpkin is soft, and the start is good.

The Meiji の館 side dish is similar to yesterday's, so I won't let it go. Yesterday the snow fell, Yan Zhi was sweet, and when Sugar Candy was eating, the curry rice ordered next to the table was given to Xue Luo, Yan Zhi was sweet, and Sugar Candy was hungry, but she really couldn't eat it, so Yan Zhitian decisively ordered one today. Yukiki doesn't have any feelings about curry, and she can't eat anything special.

But looking at the empty plate at the end, it should taste good. Meiji の館 Snow fell before the main dish and ordered a fried steak, which is really inseparable from meat at every meal, and the main dish of Meiji の館 is the store's signature eggplant meat sauce pasta, with two croquettes The Meiji の館 sauce is not thick and can be hung on the noodles perfectly, and the minced meat and eggplant are also very delicious.

The meatloaf is a little soft and everything else is good. Meiji の館 After eating, I walked back to the kimono shop and returned the kimono, and Yan Zhitian and Shenqiao took a group photo again. After the bridge, go back to the hotel to pick up your luggage, say goodbye to Nikko for a while, and go to the bus station to take a bus to Lake Chuzenji, which is 20 kilometers away.

Hotel cuisine (kaiseki) at Lake Chuzenji in Tochigi Prefecture The road from Nikko to Lake Chuzenji is a bit interesting, with various 120-degree bends, perfect for patting the head letter D2, and about 40 minutes by car to Chuzenji Lake Station. There was a light rain in the sky of Zhongzenji Lake, and there was not even a figure on the street, so I cut off the idea of taking a taxi, thinking that it was not far anyway.

Walk to today's hotel. Zhongzen Temple Lake Zhongzen Temple Lake is raining and there are people fishing, it is really atmospheric Zhongzen Temple Lake snow falling, Yan Zhi sweet, sugar sugar in Zhongzen Temple Lake booked hotel called, has been walking along the lake, about 10 minutes can see the roadside signboard. The price of the hotel is a bit expensive, and the pressure is high enough, and the waiters are polite.

Personally accompanied the snow falling, Yan Zhitian, and Tangtang entered the guest room and introduced all parts of the room. The only drawback is that because it is too big, but there are not many guests, the hotel is a little empty, after watching too many island horror movies, a person back to the room and walked through the silent corridor, it is really a little scary.

The hotel room is very good, the snow falls, Yan Zhi is sweet, the sugar candy is booked in the lake view room, open the window, Zhongzen Temple Lake is in front of you. The size of the room is also super large, and the design is also very distinctive, it is like a maze, and I almost got lost when I entered the room for the first time. The door of the room is a large thick iron door, and the key is also a bit interesting, it is a classical key of pure copper.

The snow fell, Yan Zhi was sweet, the sugar candy arrived late, and she was ready to eat, this is why Xueluo said why she was afraid when she walked in the corridor, and she almost threw away the camera when she saw such a woman's face coldly. Before you eat, you can watch the hotel's clog dance performance, although it is also a shopping promotion at the end.

But the dancing waitress is really cute, from bringing snow to falling, Yan Zhitian, sugar candy into the room to visit is her, dancing is also her, and serving food for a while is still her. Compared to the dinner at the hotel the day before, I think I will be looking forward to today's hotel food, and after taking a seat, the menu is already on the table, but most of them still don't understand it.

Xueluo, who almost never drinks alcohol, also wants to drink at this time, and specially ordered a bottle of wine from the hotel itself, which really can't be drunk well, but the stamina is not small. The first payment is the bean skin, the bean skin is also a Nikko specialty, the sauce is slightly sweet, the very appetizing eight-inch bitter gourd is very good, these days I have eaten a lot of big fish and meat.

Eat some bitter gourd to remove the fire, sashimi has two kinds of traditional flavors and new seasonings, tuna and squid are the two most impressive. At this time, both the freshness and the taste are far beyond yesterday's hotel. In fact, hot spring hotels like this kind are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and many of the hotel's restaurants have their own signature dishes, and the tabelog ratings are very high.

There are also special diners who come to stay at the inn for food, and in terms of taste, it is not inferior to similar restaurants in Tokyo. Tempura, the dipping sauce is Japanese-style matcha powder, it tastes very refreshing, and when I was looking forward to a strong dish, the waiter pushed a cart and brought a stone, and the snow fell, Yan Zhi was sweet, and the sugar candy smiled mysteriously.

It is a stone box that can be used as a cooking utensil, which is a local specialty, and the inside is covered with heated pebbles, and the ingredients in it are beef and vegetables wrapped in paper. Pour water into the box, then close the lid and use the steam generated inside to cook. After about 2 minutes, the waiter took out the paper packet, opened it and placed it on the table.

To be honest, the appearance is a little worse, but the cooking technique is really pleasing to the eye, the taste is also remarkable, the beef is tender, the vegetables are fragrant, and the simple seasoning is the original taste of the food. The lid is steamed crab meatballs, and when you open the lid, it looks like a work of art, but the taste is not as good as it looks, and the soft crab meat is paired with broken rice.

But I am really not used to eating broken rice, and I always feel like I am eating crispy fragrant rice. The last meal is very simple, rice, pickles and miso soup, in fact, eating this kind of kaiseki cuisine, the last step is really a little uncomfortable, the rice is really delicious, simple pickles as a combination can also taste the aroma of rice, but it really doesn't taste fragrant.

Maybe the snow falls more vulgarly, and when I saw a bowl of rice served, I subconsciously wanted to ask the waiter when the braised pork would be served, even if it was a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork. Exquisite island country hot spring hostel dinner, every dish is remarkable.

Not inferior to a restaurant in Tokyo, I went to the bar to rest for a while, and I went downstairs to enjoy the hot springs, and there was nothing more relieving than soaking in the hot springs after a day of soaking. There are not many rules for bathing in hot springs in the island country, but there are special steps. In general, hot springs are separated for men and women, and the tradition in island countries is that people with tattoos are members of the underworld.

People with tattoos are generally not allowed to enter the hot springs for fear of trouble. Step 1: Take off all your clothes and walk into the bathroom, rinse your whole body with hot water, then soak in the hot spring pool for a while, then come out and sit in the bathroom and wash your whole body with toiletries, and then you can start soaking in the hot spring. It is not recommended to soak in the hot spring for too long, about 15 minutes.

Instead of washing your whole body when you come out of the hot spring, you should leave the minerals in the hot spring on your body and drink some ice water to replenish your water. Tochigi Prefecture's hotel cuisine (hotel breakfast) at Lake Chuzenji was awakened by the sunlight coming in through the window in the morning, and when I opened the window and looked out, the haze of yesterday had been swept away, and the sun finally reappeared after a long absence.

Breakfast appointment at 8:30, the time is still early, go out for a walk. After washing, I went out and walked on the road along the lake, and I saw the heart-warming scenery, and yesterday's gloomy Chuzenji Lake has changed. Chuzenji Lake walks south along the lake, ready to go around Chuzenji.

The reason why the lake is named is because of the Chuzen temple built by the Venerable Master Katsumichi, but the name of the lake is more famous than the name of the temple. Looking out of Lake Chuzenji in the direction of the station, there are still thick clouds in the direction of Nikko. On the way from Zhongzenji Lake to Zhongzenji Temple, you can see several embassies on the roadside, and it seems that foreigners also like the scenery of Zhongzenji Lake.

It's a place for vacation. Yanzhitian of Zhongchan Temple Lake is actually still sleeping lazily in the hotel, Xueluo came alone, and when he walked to the door of the temple, he found that he had to buy tickets, and he never had money in his pocket, so he could only take a few pictures at the gate of the temple. There is a very beautiful standing wood Guanyin in the middle of the temple, if you have friends to go in the future, please take a photo and let the snow fall to see.

Zhongzen Temple Lake Zhongzen Temple Lake felt that he had the style of a prince, and he took advantage of the excitement and returned to the hotel for breakfast. Bicycles can be rented at the Lake Hotel, so if you have enough time, you can ride around the lake and take a walk, which should be a good experience. When I didn't come to the island country, I always felt that the island country cuisine was just a lot of variety, and the portion was small and I couldn't get enough at all.

In fact, I have come to know that no matter what you eat, the amount is really large, and every time you go to the last few days of the trip, you have to rely on medicine to make your stomach comfortable. As for why I can't eat less, I really can't help it. The breakfast was also good, came to the restaurant on time, and the waiter brought it to the prepared table and waited for the food to be served.

Boiled tofu and mushrooms in crab roe udon kelp, only kelp is put in the soup, and umami is used to neutralize the fishy smell of the tofu, and no other seasonings are added, so the white tofu is really delicious. Breakfast is a traditional Japanese breakfast, one plate per person is served, relatively speaking, it is relatively light, put the hot spring eggs on the rice, open the eggs and pour a little soy sauce.

Then mix it with rice, and it's really delicious. Energetic breakfast, eat so much nutritious food early in the morning, you can have a better time because you have to catch the train back to Tokyo at 12 noon, so after eating, the snow falls, Yan Zhi Tian, Sugar Candy checks out and leaves, before leaving Nikko, go to Kegon Waterfall first.

The crimson torii gate of Lake Chuzenji is set against the blue sky and the Nantai Mountain covered with emerald trees, which is really beautiful, and the snow falls, Yan Zhi is sweet, and the mood of sugar and sugar can't help but be happy. Chuzenji Lake Zhongzenji Lake walked to the station where you got off yesterday, left your luggage here, and continued to walk east for 300 meters, and you can see Kegon Waterfall.

Kegon Falls is one of the three major waterfalls in the island country, and the water flowing from Lake Chuzenji is a spectacular sight to follow along the rock wall. The snow fell, Yan Zhi was sweet, and Tangtang also saw a rainbow. Kegon Falls is on the edge of the cliff and you can see the waterfall from above, and there is an elevator next to it that allows you to sit on the waterfall viewing platform below 100 meters and look up from below.

Huayan Waterfall, Huayan Waterfall, Huayan Waterfall, Snow Fall, and Yan Zhitian take a mirror of Huayan Waterfall, Huayan Waterfall, and take the bus back to Tobu Nikko Station. At Tobu Nikko Station or at the front desk of the hotel where you stay, it is recommended that you take a copy of Nikko's bus timetable for reference, the bus station timetable is very freehand, and you can't understand the time for half a day.

I took the train back to Tokyo at 12 noon and left Nikko, where I had been with for two days, and I was really reluctant. Nikko is a quiet, elegant town with no crowds in Tokyo, just a place full of historical sites waiting to be visited, and what better experience than strolling along the streets in kimonos and enjoying the centuries-old shrines and temples around you.

Nikko's official slogan is "Nikkoisnippon", and the snow falls on Nikko, which is an island country, and the traditions and history of Nikko are irreplaceable by big cities, and only by coming here can you experience the charm of island culture.

Tobu Nikko's bento may be the shortest of the two food trips in the snowfall, but the train bento in the island country really has to be mentioned, and if you haven't eaten a bento on the train in the island country, it's like never taking a train. The island country's train bento was called 駅弁 in Japanese, and at that time it was relatively simple, and it was rice balls sold by vendors along the platform.

Therefore, July 16 became Bento Memorial Day. Almost all the major stations along the train in the island country have their own special bento boxes, and most of them strictly follow the expiration date, which is the best time to taste them, and most bento shops will throw away the bento boxes that are about to reach the expiration date twice a day at noon and 12 o'clock in the evening.

Therefore, the safety of consumption is completely guaranteed. Tobu Nikko Station has a relatively small selection here, only a few available at convenience stores, so I chose the one that has the most appetite to take on the train. The unspoken rules of the subway in the island country are not allowed to eat and drink in the carriage, but the train is different, after the car starts, the snow falls, Yan Zhi is sweet, and the sugar candy opens the bento.

I found that many people around me also started the same action. The snow falls, Yan Zhi is sweet, and the sugar candy bento can make people drool just from the color matching, and the taste is okay, and no one generally pursues the taste of the train bento, but it is indeed a very good experience. The dim sum that Nikko bought by the way is similar to a fried cake, and the bean paste filling is fluffy and the skin is crispy, which is very delicious. (To be continued.) )
