Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... on the falls, a rainbow formed in the midst of the tumbling water. The scene was like something from a dream. Just gorgeous. The only disappointment was we were about 2 weeks late for the peak of the autumn colours in the area. The leaves on the trees surrounding the falls have already fallen off. But no big deal, we still got some great shots of the protagonist, the fall itself. On our way back up the elevators we got stuck in between a tour group of retired old ...
Day 4: Nikko - Temples and Shrines

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 ...
