Thesis on Tochigi:

Tochigi is a landlocked prefecture of Japan about 2 hours north of Tokyo.

It is famous for Nikko, the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

But in addition to that it has many ancient temples and shrines, river rafting with poles, lush green
mountains to hike and a plethora of hot springs or onsen. Some of the onsen are even co-ed where men
and women bathe freely together.

To get there it is suggested to fly into Tokyo and take a train from there which will run about $30USD
each way.

Suggested sights:
Tochigi City (canals filled with carp, and old samurai style buildings and museum.

Utsunomiya: The capital and famous for its gyro which are filled with garlic. It also has some picturesque
temples and shrines near the main station.

Nikko: Small village with monkeys, Chuzenji lake, onsens, the opulent grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the
see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil monkey carving, and the renowned Kegon waterfall which is quite
majestic.
