Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... bon and i both skipped the shower that night. Another shock about our room was the bunk bed. It was awesome, couldn't remember the last time i slept in one.

Day trip to Nikko
... It's an area of Tokyo that is popular with Otaku (geeks) and is also where you will find the famous "Maid Cafes". There were many Japanese girls dressed in maid outfits stood out on the street, handing out flyers and trying to convince you to come into their cafe. To be honest, it was a little bit weird.
