Nikko - Day 2: Tochigi, Japan
Day 2 in Nikko took me into the mountainous Inner Nikko region via the winding Irohazaka road. From panoramic views at Akechidaira and Kegon Waterfall to a peaceful cruise on Lake Chuzenji and a visit to Futarasan Shrine Chugushi, the day blended dramatic landscapes with sacred mountain history.
