Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... store that we passed in the onsen town hoping to find some "I love Japan" sweaters or anything that could keep us warm.

One of these teams is the Nikko Icebucks, and, since Nikko is also home to some of the finest temples in all of Japan, watching a hockey game in Japan became a must-do as we wandered ...
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!
