William's Nikko Excursion
In this excursion, we went to a city with gorgeous historical sites - Nikko.
The railway from Tokyo to Nikko was pretty far. It took almost two and a half hours to get there.
When we arrived at Nikko, most of us were very hungry. I bought a manju with my friend, it’s a sweet bun with delicious bean filling inside. This helped us to charge our energy.
We went to a great Japanese temple, that is also a shrine, which is called Toshogu. It is a place to commemorate Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa and Shogun Toyotomi. I learned a lot of Japanese history knowledge from my teachers and from this place. Also I got a fortune for myself. It’s kind of like a lottery where you learn about your future luck. My fortune said I would have a little luck, which I think is okay for me.
