Sakura Cherry Blossoms in Nikko Japan 2011

The following photographs were made on April 20th, within 400 meters east and 400 meters west of Zen Hostel in Nikko Japan.

Rt. 149 is certainly the most beautiful road to get to the world heritage area, Toshogu Shrine, Chuzenji Lake, Senjogahara.

It is a very scenic road that follows KuroKawa (Black River) into the village of Okorogawa, Nikko, Japan.

The Japanese translation for Okorogawa is “where rivers meet or come together”.
