On our way to Nikko we stopped at the rest area, where we found an arcade machine in which you need to pick plush animals with a claw crane. We managed to get Chick, from now on she will travel with us 😀

From Kegon Falls we went to Ryuzu Falls. The path there goes along the lake and takes about an hour walking. It was very calm and quiet there.

The park is a bear habitat and to avoid surprise encounter with a bear you have to make noise. There is a loud bell made for that.

Yudaki Falls was the last waterfall on our trip.

The last point of our hike was lake Yumoko. The whole walk took about 6 hours. In the evening the weather got worse and it started to rain, but we were already on our way home to Tokyo.
