    After arriving at the entrance of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, we used trip to buy tickets to enter. However, the staff told us that we had to go to Tobu Nikko to exchange tickets, so we drove back to the station to exchange tickets before we could enter. It is recommended that we communicate with Toshogu Shrine to see if we can exchange tickets on the spot, which would be more convenient!

    Kegon Falls is a waterfall located in Nikko National Park in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It comes from Lake Chuzenji and is connected to the Otani River, one of the tributaries of the Kinugawa River. The reason for the formation of Kegon Falls is that the water pressure of Lake Chuzenji is very high, causing water leakage at the bottom of the lake, and the water flows down the valley to form a waterfall. Kegon Falls is known as the "three major waterfalls in Japan". Designated as a national scenic spot of Japan in 1931

    It was like an underground city. It was so beautiful. This was the filming location for the live-action version of Rurouni Kenshin. Because it's underground, it's cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.
