There were two observation decks in from of the Kegon Falls. This was the view of the falls from the upper deck.
And this was the view of the falls from the lower deck, reachable with an elevator.
A bit torii at the shore of Lake Chūzenji.

The weather never got better and there was always a thin layer of fog above the lake.
People could also tour the lake on the human powered swan boats.
People could also tour the lake on speedboats.

Due to the lighting and heavy rain, the train back to Tokyo stopped at stations twice with all lights and air conditionings turned off. More worryingly, during one of the stops I saw several engineers ran toward the locomotive. When we finally arrived the Asakusa station, it was 20 minutes late.
