Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... and none of the restaurants looked appealing to us. So we decided to accelerate our plans and just take the early bus back to the station, have a quick lunch and then head back to Tokyo to make another attempt at that French Japanese Steakhouse that we've missed out on twice already.

Day trip to Nikko
... was significantly cooler and less humid than Tokyo, which was much appreciated given the hot stickiness of the last few days.
First I took the bus from Nikko station (which resembled a Swiss ski lodge) up to lake Chuzenji. The lake was stunning, set against the backdrop of beautiful mountains.
