Lago Chuzenji
El lago Chuzenji se ubica en las montañas de la ciudad de Nikko, al pie del monte Nantai. Este volcán sagrado de Nikko entró en erupción, bloqueó el valle y creó el lago hace unos 20.000 años.
Las orillas de Chuzenji están en su mayoría rodeadas de bosques, excepto en el extremo oriental del lago donde se construyó la pequeña ciudad termal de Chuzenjiko Onsen.
El lago Chuzenji es ideal para disfrutar todo el año. Durante el verano caluroso de Japón, la alta elevación del lago (1269 msnm) mantiene el área fresca y cómoda. Y desde mediados hasta finales de octubre, los colores del otoño alcanzan su punto máximo a lo largo de las orillas del lago y las montañas que lo rodean.
No se lo pierdan!
