Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... our noses and purchased tickets for the elevator to take us down to the falls. It was about a 100 m descent to the bottom of the falls where viewing platforms have been set up. To our surprise the place was packed with tour groups and students even with the almost unbearable temperatures. We found a nice spot on the upper platform and started firing away on our cameras.

First I took the bus from Nikko station (which resembled a Swiss ski lodge) up to lake Chuzenji. The lake was stunning, set against the backdrop of beautiful mountains.
I took the opportunity to visit the Kegon waterfall. I took an elevator (which went straight down through the mountain) to the base of the waterfall where ...
