Shinkyo Bridge

Shinkyo Bridge in Nikko Japan.

It is rare that an image looks exactly like its real life counterpart. This location is one of those rare exceptions. Nikko is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous fall destinations I have seen.

I did a lot of research before heading to Japan to ensure that I would make the most of the fall season. This location was high on my priority list. However, despite being amazing at the images I saw of Shinkyo Bridge online, I had tempered expectations. When I arrived, I was blown away to see the colors and glossy contrast be so true to life. The mist coming over the mountains and the overcast weather only added to the effect.
