Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... We ordered by pointing to the pictures on the walls and lucked out cause everything we ordered tasted great. Their sweets and pastries were really nice. Most were filled w/ either black sesame or red bean paste. We also had a Japanese cheesecake that was superb. All in all, a good little pit stop.

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). The temple area was huge and packed with tourists (clearly ...
