Travel Tips for History of Kantō Region

Nikko, Kantō Region, Japan
Don't say けっこ (Kekko) until you've seen 日光 (Nikko).  Nikko is considered a place that all Japanese people should visit before they die.  The nature is pristine.  Kegon waterfall is a must for anyone coming to Nikko.  Lake Chuzenji is another must see.  In the winter, the lake is a little somber, but in the summer and autumn, the water is a shade of blue matched only in paintings.  
Nikko has plenty of shrines and temples to keep any history nut happy.  My personal favorite is the Toshogu shrine (東照宮).  While this shrine with its extensive complex, collection of stone lanterns, and 5 story pagoda are truly amazing, I would recommend choosing a ryoukan (traditional Japanese hotel) closer to the Shinkyo bridge.  This sacred red bridge is famous and, when seen in the morning light, it is easy to understand why.  It is a marvelous sight when framed with the mist coming down from the mountains at daybreak.
If you do choose to visit Nikko in the winter, each of these attractions has a completely different atmosphere about them that is enchanting in a whole new way.  One word of warning however.  The wind in Nikko could bring a even a Korean warlord to his knees (anyone who has lived in Korea, especially close to the North Korean border, knows what I mean).  Remember to bring a warm coat.
