My hometown


My hometown is Nikko city in Tochigi prefecture.
Nikko city had been originally a small city, but in 2006 Nikko city amalgamated with other 4 municipalities and "new" Nikko city was made. Nikko city is now very large city. It takes about one fourth of Tochigi prefecture and is third largest city in Japan. The population is about 90000.


By the way, Nikko is very famous for sightseeing.
There are a lot of places to see such as Nikko-toshogu, Chuzenji lake, Kegonnotaki fall and so on. Also, there are beautiful nature.


When saying detail, I lived in Kinugawa area in Nikko city. They call here Kinugawa-onsen. There are a lot of spas and hotels. And Kinugawa river has wonderful scene. I love this town most in the worlds. If you have time, please come to this town by all means.
