Tourist Japan
Carving detail at the Tokagawa shrine complex. Home of the famous three monkeys carving.
Below are some images of the Nikko waterfall which is at the top of a steep mountain road which requires chains to drive in winter. The return descent is down the original old road which is now one way.

Main waterfall viewed from the Chuzenjiko viewing platform. A distant view of falls and Chuzenjiko lake from the top of the cable way. The same view as used by the Japanese TV weather camera on the morning news.
