Sainoko Lake (西ノ湖) is about 2 km away from the west side of Chuzenji Lake (中禅寺湖). These two lakes are said to have been one big lake once upon a time. Due to volcanic activity Sainoko Lake was sequestered from the big portion of the lake (= Chuzenji). Since Sainoko Lake is only accessible by a low emission bus, only the really enthusiastic trekkers are there. It's a quiet and cozy place. I can recommend you to go there if you have a chance to visit Nikko.
Since this lake is so shallow, its shores are under a strong influence of weather. When I visited there, we haven't had rain in over 10 days and look. The water is receding!!!

ReplyDeleteAwesome !
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this post. I had a college professor who always told us to never lie. For instance, if we didn't feel like coming to class because it was a good day to go to the beach, then we should tell him that we're "under the weather." It implies that we're sick but it's not lying.
ReplyDeleteI really like this picture, by the way. It reminds me of some places I used to hike when I was living in San Diego. Ah, nostalgia!
