The weather was bad and it was freezing cold. I couldn't stay on the deck for even five minutes—almost everyone ran back inside the cabin.

Kenninji Temple
The oldest Zen temple in Kyoto and the head temple of the Kenninji sect of the Rinzai school. In 1202, Minamoto no Yorie, the second shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, donated the temple area to the temple and founded it with Yousai Zenji as the founder.
It's pretty rare for temples to allow photography inside.

Hakone Shrine
Hakone Shrine sits just steps from Lake Ashi, a spot dotted with coveted Hakone destinations like Owakudani and Togen-dai. The shrine heralds the Hakone Ookami god, and remains one of the most renowned shrines in Kanto.
You absolutely can't miss the stunning torii gate on the water when you visit Hakone Shrine.

Lake Chuzenji
It has been said that the valley was dammed by lava from the eruption of Mt. Nantai about 20,000 years ago, and the original shape was created. Located at an altitude of 1,269 meters above sea level, it is at one of the highest heights in Japan.
If you're in Nikko, you have to check out Lake Chuzenji and see just how beautiful the scenery is!
