If you've followed me on Instagram you might have seen about this post, and no it's not in Santorini neither it's Positano. It's located just 40 mins away from Tokyo by Shinkansen, it is ATAMI

Living in Tokyo means that I am always presented with endless options of the high-quality feast that celebrates seasonal events. Nevertheless, the more options you're being suggested, the more bewildering when it comes to picking one that should satisfy your appetite

I really can't believe that I have been living in Tokyo for 9 months long! I know I have considered Tokyo as my second home for years, but the process of truly living in one city is totally different. I have been here since summer and I always walk through the same path every day for months, looking at the difference of the trees and feeling the season's changed through its wind, it's something that I would never notice or appreciate if I just come for travel every other month I have wanted to make a post for the 3 or 6 months update, but my life was super overwhelming and the feeling is changing rapidly like a roller coaster

What will come to your mind when you first think about day trip from Tokyo? Sure you can do that, but here I am giving you another day trip alternative from Tokyo (not like you can't stay overnight at this place either!) which is NIKKO that's located in TOCHIGI prefecture I visited Nikko twice in a year, and both in 2018 end of winter (March), and 2019 early winter (January). I heard from a colleague of mine that Nikko is really famous during autumn, especially since it's located in high altitude, so the autumn foliage will stay longer than other areas HOW TO GET THERE AND HOW MUCH? There are many ways to visit Nikko but the cheapest way is to buy a Nikko Pass along with Tobu Limited Express train that departs from either Asakusa or Tokyo Sky Tree Station
