It's dotted with a waterfall of lakes and marshes and big and small, a river and wetlands between the altitude about 900-2,500m, and the mountains with World heritage "shrines and temples in Nikko" and the deep connection towers including Nantai-san.
It's also one of how to enjoy oneself the inside Nikko to take a walk through an embassy villa memorial park in Chuzenji Lakeside in Meiji Period while driving expectation in the history which showed a crowd as an international summer retreat.

The "Futarasan-jinja" worshiped from the past as the center of the mountain worship of Nikko. The one three companies are between "Okumiya" who has that and the two companies in 2486 m of peak in Futarasan which is enshrined and is Mt. "headquarters" and divine object in the city (Mount Nantai) in the Nikko city is "Chugushi" in Chuzenji Lakeside.

The memorial park where you can also touch history as an international summer retreat while being wrapped in nature in lakeside in the southeast bank of Lake Chuzen-ji. The one by which the building with the nice retrospective texture in the park restored the one which was built by architect Antonin Raymond in 1928 (1928) and utilized until 1997 (1997) as "Italian embassy villa" on a plan street. Cedar bark tension is given to the exterior and furnishing, and the appearance which seems to be a villa in lakeside harmonized with a wildwood of a water oak, a beech, a maple and Ulla Girod fir in a garden is charm. A pier is in the park, and the at that time when ambassadors enjoyed yacht play at a lake is made bearing a close resemblance.

You're wrapping around the basin of a waterfall in spray like white mist by the powerful quantity of water. A lot of thin Taki who flows from the middle berth of the main stream called "twelve falls" is doing a part of beautiful cityscape, too.

It's "fall of a winder" that the flow which became the "Yuno-ko Lake" vanity in the inside Nikko area north "Yukawa" is at the front poured into Lake Chuzen-ji through "Senjogahara". The state to which I'm going down crosses on the lava by an eruption of Mount Nantai in about 210 m, and flows and indeed makes them think of the form of the dragon. Because it's divided by Oiwa in two near the basin of a waterfall, and is similar to the head's square of the dragon, it's said that this name stuck.
