... 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.

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 ...
