Lake Chuzenji – Nature’s Calm Above the Clouds
Nestled high in the mountains, Lake Chuzenji is a peaceful freshwater lake formed by a volcanic eruption centuries ago. It’s cool, quiet, and often overlooked — which makes it an absolute gem for tourists seeking a break from crowds.
Visitors enjoy boat rides, lakeside cafés, and scenic walks with Mt. Nantai towering in the background. In autumn, the area becomes an explosion of reds and golds, attracting photographers from around the world.
Compared to busy lakes in Europe or the States, Chuzenji feels untouched — like a calm mirror to the sky. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time, breathing clean mountain air and watching the world slow down.
Visiting Kegon Falls – Japan’s Most Majestic Waterfall
Kegon Falls is not just another waterfall — it’s a jaw-dropping 97-meter plunge of pure mountain water, framed by dramatic cliffs and seasonal colors. Located near Lake Chuzenji, it’s one of Japan’s “Top 3 Waterfalls” and a top-tier experience for nature lovers.
Whether it’s the lush greens of summer, fiery reds of autumn, or the icy frozen version in winter — Kegon Falls never fails to impress. Tourists can ride an elevator down to the base for a full thundering view, or just take in the panorama from above.
For global travelers used to seeing waterfalls in places like Iceland or Canada, Kegon offers something uniquely Japanese — surrounded by shrines, silence, and the gentle hum of nature. It’s raw beauty, right in the heart of a spiritual region.
