We're going away for the weekend into mountains about 100 km from Tokyo. We'll do some hiking, see heaps of autumn leaves and stay in traditional Japanese inns.
I won a raffle prize at the recent Nishimachi Food Fair for all of us to stay overnight at Nasu Onsen Sanraku (the luxury Sanraku inn). Looks amazing.
Then we're going to Nikko, a well-known leaf-watching haven, with various temples and shrines, a tramway, and Lake Chuzenji. Our hotel, Nikko Toshogu Koyoen, in Shimo-imaichi looks lovely, too.
So we'll be wearing yukata (cotton kimono), soaking in the onsen (natural hot-springs bath), eating kaiseki (multi-course supper) served in our room, and sleeping on futons.
Back Sunday, with lots of photos.
