We're in Japan during the one week (or week and a half) of the year when the cherry blossoms bloom. Blowing in the wind, the petals fall from the trees like pink snow flakes and form a snow bed of cherry flowers. We're in Nikko, a town just a couple of hours north of Tokyo. In two days, we walked for a total of 10 hours exploring the brightly painted shrines and woodlands. The Lonely Planet guide says this town can get extremely crowded, but we found spots where we felt like we were the only people in existence. Just the feeling we were looking for when getting away from the big smoke of Tokyo for a couple of days.
