Breakfast at “Nikko Station Hotel Classic”

I had breakfast at “Plaisir,” a buffet-style restaurant inside of my hotel.

I was seated by the window, so I took a picture of my food along with the view.

I got off at the “Shinkyo” bus stop.
Soon I arrived at my accommodations for day 2 of my trip, “Nikko Kanaya Hotel,” located right near the bus stop.
I couldn’t check in yet, so I left my luggage and took a walk.
