November 2005: 鬼怒川 (Kinugawa, Japan)
鬼怒川 (Kinugawa) is very close from 日光 (Nikko). It is not as touristic but, I feel, it is more enjoyable, especially in autumn when the leaves turn gold and crimson.

I went there with Ruth (my preferred geologist and a former employee of the NASA), and we enjoyed a very pleasant hike.
