Lake Chuzenji 中禅寺湖
Eau bénite
A seulement une demi-heure du temple Tôshô-gû, le lac Chûzenji est l'occasion d'une jolie balade dans le parc de Nikko.
Perched 1 269 meters above sea level, the picturesque Chuzenji, the result of a volcanic eruption that occurred more than 20 000 years ago, extends over 10 km at the foot of Mount Nantai, offering a nice view of the mountain that dominates Nikko .
On its banks, Chuzenji temple houses a statue of the famous Kannon with a thousand arms, and the Italian ambassadors' villa (open to public) bare witness to a time when this bucolic site hosted many foreign diplomatic residences (1900-1930 ).
You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery from the middle of the lake, during a short cruise from the Chuzenji-ko Onsen thermal spa.
But more than the lake itself, it is the huge Kegon-no-Taki waterfall, almost 100 meters high, which has made the area famous: it is a favorite spot for many fictional suicides.. .
