January 2, 2009.
We reached Tokyo around 9.15am. We took the Nikko line from Utsunomiya. We went into a fast food restaurant and although simple, the udon was WOW.
When we got to the Nikko station, we walked about 30 minutes before we reached the famous "2 Shrines and 1 Temple". We first visited the Rinnoji Sanbutsudo Temple.
Then the Toshogu Shrine. We did not get to see the Sanzaru (three monkeys gesturing "Hear No Evil, Say No Evil, See No Evil") because we didn't enter a particular part of the shrine that required admission fee. So they were probably in there.
Next is the Futarasan Shrine.
We made it to the Rinnoji Taiyuin Temple too and got out just as they were closing the gates. Phew.
We got hungry so we stopped by the stalls for some oden and buttered potato.
This is the Shinkyo Sacred Bridge. Nobody's allowed to go on it.
We saw a smiley moon on the way to TOKYO BACKPACKERS.
We got back to TOKYO BACKPACKERS around 8pm.
Yawn... night!
End of Day 11.
