Next, visit Rinnoji Temple, Nikko’s oldest Buddhist temple, surrounded by peaceful gardens and centuries-old cedar trees. As you continue through the famous Irohazaka Winding Road, enjoy spectacular mountain scenery and panoramic viewpoints that become especially beautiful during autumn when the forests are covered in vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow.
Arrive at the stunning Lake Chuzenji, a peaceful volcanic lake surrounded by mountains and colorful forests.
