Cycling and Travelling around Japan

Back From my trip

Posted on | October 27, 2007 | No Comments

I’m back from my trip to see the leaves in Gunma, Tochigi and Nagano prefectures. Although it didn’t really go as originally planned. I never actually made it to nagano.

Nikko and Oku-Nikko were both so beautiful that I decided to stick it out there and only wound up riding about 300km in all. Everything was beautiful shades of yellow. Especially in the high elevations (around 1700-2000m) the boreal (pine) forests’ needles were changing shades of green to yellow which looked so beautiful on the mountain side.

However, I did wind up cutting it short because it looking like it was going to (and actually did) rain no Friday and Saturday and possibly Sunday. It was pretty drizzly on Friday and – back in Tokyo – was a downpour all day Saturday

Photos to come.
