On my walk to the hotel from Nikko Station, I found quite an interesting shop – Rondo Antique. I spent about an hour there examining old things that I’m always excited about. The owner was a nice lady who kindly allowed me to take my time. You can find all sorts of things there. As I’m a doll collector, I picked the Samurai doll just for ¥2000 and three old Kokeshi dolls for ¥500 each! I wish I could buy more, but a traveler must always think of carrying all the stuff back!
