Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... and none of the restaurants looked appealing to us. So we decided to accelerate our plans and just take the early bus back to the station, have a quick lunch and then head back to Tokyo to make another attempt at that French Japanese Steakhouse that we've missed out on twice already. You know what they say third times the charm. Damn it third times the charm my ass. When we got to the restaurant we were turned away by the hostess. The restaurant was fully booked for ...

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!
The first thing I noticed when I got to Nikko was the ...
