Exploring Nikko in 2025: A 4-day solo trip through ancient temples and local flavors 🍂

In October 2025, I took on a 4-day solo trip to Nikko, Japan. I captured some of the highlights in this video—scenery spots, temples & artifacts, coffee shops, bakeries, and local specialties.

It was also my first time traveling and filming with a new camera setup! Definitely a lot of trial and error involved, but I had so much fun playing with it and shooting in Nikko.
