We caught the last act of the Kabuki that night, a version of the English play 'Money'. Incomprehensible but cool.
At Lake Chuzenji, the only people out and about are monkeys and local politicians. So just monkeys basically.
On day 4 Yuki had to leave for the UK, so we said goodbye and checked into the hostel-style Hotel New Koyo. We went shopping in Shinjuku, and then managed to catch the last act of Kabuki at the Ginza theatre.
Day 5 was a big trip out of town to Nikko, in the hills North of Tokyo. The Tosho-gu shrine complex, built for Tokugawa, was dead atmospheric. The Chuzenji falls, though, were a slight disappointment, mostly because they were utterly invisible through the mist! To eat, we found 'Hippari Dako', the gaijin-friendly yakitori place mentioned in the guide book.
