XLII - Nikko


Kegon no Taki (華厳滝 - Kegon Falls) are the most spectacular waterfalls in Nikko National Park, and are located at Chūzenji-ko (中禅寺湖 - Lake Chuzenji) . The main fall is 97m high and is among the three highest in Japan. It is surrounded by 12 smaller falls which leak through the cracks of the mountain.

The scenery in this place is truly imposing, no wonder it is sadly infamous for suicides, especially among Japanese youth.
