Nikko

So this past weekend we went to Nikko, a resort town, which is up in the mountains. It has all kinds of hot springs and old temples and stuff. The hotel we stayed in was amazing, unbelievably amazing. The mountains and views were breathtaking. Our hotel had an onsen, which is a traditional Japanese hot spring/public bath. Very cool. It made us feel like were really in Japan. The town we are in is kind of like a college town, so while it is super crazy, the real "Japan" was in Nikko. All the stuff you see in the movies and stuff. We had a traditional Japanese dinner, which was like 8 courses of all kinds of crazy stuff. This next weekend we are going to Tokyo. I plan on going to the Absolut Ice Bar where the entire facility is made of ice: cups, bar stools, walls, everything. I also want to stay in one of the capsule hotels, just for the experience. I can't wait.
