At 6:05am, Brooke’s alarm went off and we got dressed and headed out to the bus stop. I think we picked the perfect time to head up the mountain because there was no traffic.

As part of our program, CIEE arranged for an overnight field trip to the mountain town of Nikko, about 2 hours north of Tokyo. It was the perfect way to get away from the city for a couple of days.We departed Tokyo on Thursday morning by tour bus, stopping at a rest stop for lunch. We arrived in Nikko around 12pm and went to one of the more popular tourist attrctions: Toshogu Shrine. Toshogu was the site for the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, one of the shogunates who ruled feudal Japan prior ...
