Best of Tokyo, Nikko & Kyoto Photo Gallery by Philip Game at pbase.com

Best of Tokyo, Nikko & Kyoto

The best of the rest of Japan, apart from Nara and Takayama, and concentrating on the traditional rather than the modern. Our journey (like so many others reliant on the Japan Rail Pass) begins in Tokyo, with sidetrips to Kamakura and to Nikko, then follows the centuries-old Tokaido route west to Kyoto, plus a round-trip excursion on to Hiroshima and back.

These images were taken with Nikon D300 using RAW format, and are available for licensing. Please visit my blog.
