Lake Chuzenji and Mount Nantai
Our next step after visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Toshogu Shrine was the scenic landscape view of Mount Nantai as the backdrop while Lake Chuzenji supported its beauty below it. It was cold and super windy when we went there, thus, the cold was pricking into our skin! I had a hard time holding my camera, hair, shawl, and clutching on to my jacket all at the same time. According to my standards of cold, it was already extremely c-c-cold for me. How much more during w-w-winter? Wahhh!
Immediately after parking, Amy told us that we have 10 minutes only to stay and take photos with Mount Nantai and Lake Chuzenji. I underestimated the weather because after happily jumping out of the bus, I had to suddenly stop and thought of running back in. There was so much wind which was why it magnified the already cold temperature. But then I remembered that I had only 10 minutes so I continued bracing the cold and walked until the wooden fence.
By just looking at the trees in the photo, one can really say or estimate how cold it was. However, because they did not have the leaves, one cannot tell how strong the wind was and I was so ready to be blown away when I was there. Mikee, one of our friends, did not even spend more than 3 minutes outside the bus.
Even if Amy did not say that we had 10 minutes to see the grandness of the volcano and the lake, we would definitely be back in the bus due to the pricking cold weather and strong wind.
