Day 5: Lake Chuzen and Kegon Falls
... now. By the way, the seat warmer has got to be one of the best inventions ever. Lets just say the warmth, comfort and relaxation it provided helped things happen at speeds I've never experienced before. I'm sure there are other things the hotel could spend their money upgrading but they take their toilets pretty seriously.

Day trip to Nikko
... was significantly cooler and less humid than Tokyo, which was much appreciated given the hot stickiness of the last few days.
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 ...
