Day 17

Asahi-dake -> So'un- Gorge
Went to Asahiyama Zoo, touted as Japan's finest, but still found it a world of steel bars and concrete cages the size of small Tokyo apartments. Much more impressive, despite the high-rise hotels lurking around the corner, were the Shooting Star and Milky Way Falls at So'un Gorge. Like something out of an old Chinese landscape painting, they fall parallel over impossibly sheer cliffs. Alas no old Taoist sages whistling through the surrounding pine forests though.
