Conclusion for the Lake Chuzenji,Nikko trip
Besides suggesting staying near Chuzenji Onsen area, I also recommend spending at least two whole days in Nikko to enjoy without rushing. There seems to be some delicate and nice Cafe, restaurant. Nikko Toshogu日光東照宮 is also a famous temple. But I do not have enough time and it is shown that the autumn leaves there had not reached a peak yet.
Besides, there are much more places like Hangetsuyama Observation Deck半月山展望台, Kammangafuchi Gorge憾満ヶ淵, Takinoo Shrine滝尾神社…etc. But I have to give them up just for the Colored Lake in Fukushima Prefecture, my next destination.
