Beyond the windows of the limited express
Mountains slowly grow closer
On this journey starting from Asakusa
My heart quietly begins to race
Stepping out at Nikko station
Wrapped in crystal clear air
The vermillion Shinkyo Bridge
Waves beyond the flow of time
The golden Yomeimon gate shines brightly
Sleeping cats and the three wise monkeys
Laughing while taking photos of see no evil
Hear no evil speak no evil
Lights of Tochigi history shines like glowing lanterns
Mountains waterfalls and hot springs
Everything sparkles here together
Even for someone from far away
People warmly speak to me
Blown along by Tochigi's gentle winds
The journey keeps moving on
Mist rises from Kegon Falls
Morning silence at lake Chuzenji
The winding roads of Irohazaka
Look just like scenes from a movie
Steam drifting through Kinugawa on sunlight
Swaying beside the river
Looking up from an open air bath
The stars feel close enough to fall
Yoro hopping around it turn me the station
Fried dumplings and boiled dumplings too
How many shops have you visited now?
Still somehow eating more and more
Sweets twisting through strawberry fields
Biting into fresh Tochigi strawberries
I never knew winter in Japan
Could feel this beautiful
Life of Tochigi the season slowly changes they color
Cherry blossom bottom breeze winter snow
Every moment stays in my heart
Within the breeze of the highlands
White clouds stretch endlessly ahead
Looking up into the Tochigi deep sky
I slowly begin to feel free again
Ashikaga flower park at night
Mysterious flowers swaying softly
In this vibrant ocean of lights
Everyone stops to stare in wonder
Walking through old Tochigi city
Lanterns reflecting along the river
Beyond the quiet evening breeze
I can feel old Japan breathing here
Winter snowfall and Nikko cedars
Painted completely white
I'll definitely come back someday
I whisper softly to myself
Life of Tochigi the light stretches into the future
Nikko shines and Kegon Falls
