What other travelers are saying about Lake Chuzenji
One bus ride from nikko station. We visit during winter. There are still untouched snow on the surrounding shores. The view is beautiful. And you can walk here from the bus station
Although I came here at winter, when the ferry cruise wasn't operating, still, enjoying the view here brings such a serene feeling.
The lake turns out to be Japan's highest elevation natural lake!
Too bad that my schedule was so packed that day - there are some good spots around the lake that I haven't explored yet (there was a map in front of the toilet building).
One of my highlights from the trip to Nikko.
Calm and serene. Recommend to come here just before sunset, the views were stunning. I would choose to stay near the lake in future and go on the cruise which I didn't manage to do so on this trip because it was closed during winter. If you buy the Nikko 4-day pass, the cruise is included which makes your pass even more worthwhile.
A large mountain lake in the Nikko area, Lake Chuzenji offers a serene and relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding. The lakeside is surrounded by charming shops and stunning autumn foliage, making it an ideal destination during the fall season.
Visitors can rent swan boats for a leisurely paddle or join a sightseeing cruise to explore the lake. A must-visit spot for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
The lake is very big. It takes 5-10 minutes walk from Kegon Falls and very close to Chuzenji Onsen Bus Stop if you’re using Nikko Pass. During winter, the cruise is not operated. But you still able to enjoy the Lake view from lake side. They have park along the lake side.
