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.

Day trip to Nikko
... heard one tour guide mention "Takarakuji" which means the lottery"). They were all super expensive so it seemed like a bit of a con to me.
After lunch by the lake, I took the bus down some very twisty mountain roads (think of the final scene from the Italian Job, yikes!) back to central Nikko to visit Nikko's famous shrines and temples (including the tomb of the former Shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu).
