Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... So we packed light and left all our sweaters and base layers in a locker at the station to serve no purpose but to keep our suitcases warm. Boy did we regret that decision. The temperatures must have been near zero and it was even snowing at Lake Chuzen. Even the conditioning of the temperatures we face back home in the true north did not stand a chance against the icy flesh numbing, snot generating mountain winds of Nikko.

Day trip to Nikko
Today I took another day trip out from Tokyo to Nikko, in the mountains about 2 hours north of Tokyo.
Today was also my first ride on the Shinkansen, Japan's famous bullet trains which are known for their punctuality. They weren't wrong, the train left at the exact time (literally to the second!) and arrived when it said it would. Super convenient! British train companies, take note!
