Nikko
is a city representing Tochigi Prefecture, with a wealth of history and culture.
The two shrines and one temple here, including Toshogu Shrine, have been designated a
World Heritage Site. The hotel is historic, being one of the earliest western style
in Japan, and it proudly displays photos and registry entries from some of its famous
visitors, including Albert Einstein, the Lindberghs, and a variety of European royalty.
Perhaps most well known is Frank Lloyd Wright, who is said to have drawn up his plans
for the old Imperial Hotel in Tokyo while relaxing in their Dacite Bar.
Kegon Falls, one of Nikko's attractions, is fed from Lake Chuzenji. | Yukinobu (Jim) Nomura, founded TTI after retiring as CEO of Computervision Japan. |
