    Hiking

    There are several waterfalls (largest drop height 97m) in the Nikko National Park. Due to the often occurring cold, appropriate clothing is advisable.

    Hiking

    The 97-meter-high Kegon Waterfall (Japanese: 華厳ノ滝, kegon no taki) flows from Lake Chuzenji and is considered one of the three most beautiful waterfalls in Japan. There are two observation decks on site, one above and one at the base of the waterfall. The upper observation deck is open all day and free to the public, while the lower observation deck is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It can be accessed via a fee-based elevator.
