Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... no clue that it also served a dual purpose as a roller coaster. The 45 min ride up, around and through the mountains was filled with sharp turns, steep ascents and descents. The driver had a complete disregard for the absence of guard rails and a need for speed. There were definitely moments where I believe I was honestly going to wet myself. It may have been a bit of a messy scare but the views of the mountains and fall colours during the trip was unbelievable. ...

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.
