28th February: Nikko – Ryuzu Falls

…

Ryuzu Falls is the other end of Lake Chuzenji from Kegon Falls. It is not nearly as large as Kegon Falls but quite charming in its own way. Its name means Dragon’s Head Falls, the idea being that it snakes down the hill in a series of cascades and then comes out in two forks like the horns of a dragon. Walking up the trail to the top of the hill, I had to be very careful about the ice on the path.
