We took a trip to Nikko (日光) in October 2011, to see the beautiful autumn leaves. Nikko is famous for its scenery during autumn, and while we arrived during a period of rain, that did not stop us from enjoying the view.
Even from our hotel room, we can see the red maple leaves.
The kids enjoyed themselves, running round as kids do.
We went to Oku-Nikko (奥日光), all the way to Yumoto (湯元). This is the Onsen-ji (温泉寺, literally 'hot spring temple'), which really has a hot spring bath that visitors can enjoy.
Right beside the temple is the source of the hot spring. Yumoto literally means 'source of hot water' in Japanese.
And here are the maple trees, in their yellow and orange and red, lining the streets of Yumoto.
