Lake Chuzenji 中禅寺湖 - a photo on Flickriver

            Another picture  from the travel archive.
Not far from Kegon Falls in Nikko lies the highest natural lake in Japan at an altitude of 1,269 M, Lake Chuzenji 中禅寺湖. 

It was formed at the foot of Mt. Nantai after an eruption about 20,000 years ago.

In this view of the lake, Mt Nantai is behind us. We did not hike up the mountain.

During the 19th and 20th centuries it was a popular summer resort for villas owned by foreigners and embassies. 

The landscape includes blooming azaleas in early summer and bright foliage in autumn. 

Although it was early March, it still feel like winter.

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..

 Happy Travel Tuesday
