絶対に観光地に行かない日光旅行！有名スポット完全スルーで秘境探索

絶対に観光地に行かない日光旅行！有名スポット完全スルーで秘境探索

Let’s all be happy. This is Aoi. It’s a Saturday morning at Kita-Senju Station. I’m heading to Nikko from here today. Luckily, I found a good deal, and Kita-Senju is pretty quiet on a holiday morning. This is what I’m using today. I found a good deal on Nikko Mass, a website provided by Tobu Railway. It’s a two-day digital Nikko World Heritage Free Pass. It cost 2,840 yen from Kita-Senju. It includes a round-trip ticket from Kita-Senju to Shimo-Imaichi Station, plus unlimited rides between Shimo-Imaichi and Tobu-Nikko and Shin-Fujiwara. I also have free bus rides, so I can enjoy Nikko for less than 3,000 yen. And for two days. By the way, since this video is a series about never going to tourist spots, I’m not taking the express train. It’s possible to ride the express train by purchasing an additional express ticket on top of the free pass. At Minami-Kurihashi Station, I transfer to the Tobu Nikko Line. The train has arrived. It’s bound for Tobu Nikko. It’s still quite a ways off from Minami-Kurihashi. I skipped a few stops, but there are only 22 stops between Minami-Kurihashi and Tobu Nikko. Of course, everyone takes the express train. I left Kita-Senju around 9:00 and arrived at Tobu Nikko just before noon. Well, let’s make the most of our free pass from here. We also have unlimited rides on the World Heritage Tour bus. The 12:13 bus arrives pretty quickly. The route to the bus stop is easy to follow. I got off at the last stop. Where is this? Nikko Futarasan Shrine. It’s a popular spot, but I wanted to come. Nikko Toshogu Shrine is nearby, so it’s probably more crowded. There’s also a rabbit holding a lapis lazuli. Oh, I’ve already paid my respects. The shrine gardens beyond this point require an admission fee. It costs 300 yen. Nikko Futarasan Shrine is incredibly old, dating back over 1,200 years and the oldest shrine where Nikko faith began. This is the sacred water of Mt. Futarasan, supposedly giving wisdom and rejuvenating those who drink it. Apparently, you can take it home. Apparently, the cafe there serves matcha made with this water. I think I’ll come back every year to drink the water. If I do that, I might look about 10 years younger. I think it was 900 yen for a matcha cup, Japanese sweets, and a good fate-purifying hemp . Matcha. Sweets are nice, but drinking authentic matcha is also nice. There’s also a giant snake of victory. This year was the Year of the Dragon, right? Yes. I was reborn here. Yes, it looks like this. There were quite a few people there, but it was a relaxing place. Apparently, it’s famous for matchmaking, so I prayed that many people would watch my video. Having my video found is also a sign of fate. I’m back. From here, I’m heading to a place with absolutely no people around. Oh, I just happened to be there. I had to hurry or I’d have to wait quite a while for the next train, so I went one stop further and got off at Kamiimaichi Station. Even though it’s only one station, it’s quite a distance, but Suginami Park, right near the station, is seriously nice. See? This is the old Nikko Kaido. Going a little further, I found this thing. I think it’s called Takio Shrine? Let’s go and check it out. It was quiet and surrounded by nature, which was nice. Now, we’re back at Suginami Park. There’s not a soul around. Let’s really take a walk. The tracks are close here, so I’m sure there’s a train-viewing spot. Oh, how about here? Doesn’t it look nice? Shall we wait for the train? There are waterwheels everywhere. Oh, a Spacia! And it’s gold, too! A local train also came. What good timing. I was the only human there. It’s nice to stroll around a place like this at the beginning. On the way back, I took the express train, as expected. It was a special service, so it was pretty empty. Yes, if you aim to catch a special service like this, it can often be quite empty. That was the JR line going to Shinjuku. This was the Nikko edition, where I definitely didn’t go to tourist spots. The first one is Futarasan Shrine, which is a fairly well-known and popular power spot, so there are people there, but it ‘s not too noisy, so I recommend it. And then there’s Suginamiki Park. This place is a real hidden gem. There’s a train view spot, and you can take a walk in a place rich in nature where you’ll be the only human there. See you in the next video. Bye-bye.
