Day 3, 26th dec. Hilton Hotel. Narita train station. Utsunomiya. Nikko.

As usual, woke up around 8am, took the hotel shuttle bus to Narita train station. We went to a nearby eating house for breakfast. I had ramen, its just plain ramen with some spring onions. And its SALTY!!

Here we are, at the train station...

Bullet Train

Handicapped toilet

Hurray, we finally reached Nikko after 5 hrs i think. The whole journey should takes about 3 hrs plus but due to the strong wind, the train had to stop and hide inside the tunnel for safety.

Nikko train station

My godma expected snowing, but when we reached Nikko, its raining... We took a public bus to our resort. En route from the train station to our resort, we lost our way because we alighted at the wrong bus stop. Luckily, we found our resort with the help of the 7 eleven people..

The resort is a ryokan style (japanese style hotel). I.e we will be sleeping on the floormat called tatami. Awwww, its awful. You will have backache after that night if you are 1st time sleeping on it.

After checking in, we went to he nikko spa (onsen) inside the resort individually. Its a private spa duh~ Warning to onsen users, remember not to soak yourselves for too long, you will feel giddy when you get up...

After the spa, we walked a long long way to a Jap-kor restaurant for dinner. Its run by an old couple and the serves delicious food.

Hot Sake

After the dinner, we went back to the hotel. Of course after a heavy meal, its not possible to go to bed immediately. So we went to dig out the yukata (japanese 'robe')..
