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.

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.
