Remarks (May 2024):
Dinner at Hinokizaka in Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
This time I have chosen 'Sushi menu - Kyo'.  Sushi was fresh & tasty.  I like the liver sauce for the abalone, nice flavor & unusual.
To my surprise, this time the Japanese chef can speak fluent English & Cantonese!  First time I met a Japanese who can speak Cantonese!  He worked in Hong Kong for couple years.

 

 

 

華厳滝 Kegon Waterfall (Nikko, Japan)

Remarks (May 2024):
Compare to my previous visit here in October 2019, this time is much better view (no fog covering the waterfall).

 

 

 

中禅寺湖 Lake Chuzenji (Nikko, Japan)

Remarks (May 2024):
Nice peaceful view of the lake.
Some cherry blossoms are still booming here.

 

 

 

日光東照宮 Toshogu Shrine (Nikko, Japan)

Remarks (May 2024):
The visit was enjoyable, seeing the architects of this famous shrine.
Other than Mitchy's concerts, I seldom go to crowded places.
I visited Toshogu Shrine in Japan's Golden week!  As expected, amazing number of visitors, most are local Japanese.
My previous visit to Toshogu Shrine was in October 2019.
