In Nikko, besides Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, what captivated me most was the majestic Mount Nantai. Mount Nantai is one of Nikko’s most iconic mountains. Its imposing form is spectacular even from a distance, and together with the scenery of Lake Chuzenji, the whole landscape feels both peaceful and magnificent.
As you admire Mount Nantai from along the lakeshore, you can see the mountain scenery change with the weather and light. Sometimes it is shrouded in clouds and mist, while at other times it is fully visible. Looking back at Mount Nantai from near Lake Chuzenji, with the mountain and lake blending together, is truly beautiful.
