Snow Hiking in Senjogahara, Nikko Japan

Along most of the main trail on the hiking paths of Senjogahara is a wonderful creek.  During this hike we saw many ducks and various species of small birds.

The plateaux is about 1400 meters above sea level.  Tourist Nikko, JR Nikko and Tobu Nikko train stations are about 600 meters above sea level.
