Most of us hope for a full week of sunshine when we are out traveling. But it doesn't alway happen that way. I recently spent a weekend in Nikko and it rained almost the whole time. But guess what? It was beautful! In this short series, I'd like to share the beauty of Nikko with you--in the rain. This story focuses on some of the large fields and marshlands in Nikko: Senjogahara and Odajirogahara. They are wide and vast, and on this day quite misty--a special atmoshphere not seen on sunny days!
