Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... room got pretty cold. That issue was quickly squashed when i ditched my futon bed and slipped under the covers of bon's beside me.

After a delicious breakfast of fresh fruits, toast and coffee served by our hotel we thanked the folks at Turtle Inn for their hospitality and continued on our exploration of the natural wonders of Nikko.

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).
