• Tokyo - Nikko is accessible from Tokyo via a two-hour drive on the highway.

• Shinkyo Bridge - The Shinkyo Bridge (Shinkyō, “sacred bridge”) marks the entrance to Nikko’s shrines and temples and is officially part of Futarasan Shrine. It is celebrated as one of Japan’s top three bridges, alongside Iwakuni’s Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture.

• Nikko Tosho-gu - Toshogu Shrine in Nikko is the resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which governed Japan for over 250 years until 1868, during the Edo Period. This shrine complex is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can enjoy captivating stories about its architecture from their guide.

• Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park - Built in 1899, this former summer residence for Emperor Taisho features a stunning garden. It is a rare opportunity for the public to access a former royal family residence.

• Kegon Falls - Located in Nikko city, Kegon Falls is a 97-meter-high waterfall fed by Chuzenji Lake. As one of Japan’s three tallest waterfalls, it offers an elevator for visitors to experience its powerful cascade.

• Lake Chuzenji - Nestled within Nikko National Park to the west of Nikko, Lake Chuzenji is Japan’s highest naturally formed lake. It was created around 20,000 years ago when the Daiyo River was blocked by lava from Mt. Nantai’s eruption. The lake sits at an altitude of 1,269 meters.

• Narabi Jizo - In Buddhism, Jizo is a significant Bodhisattva. The tale tells of young children who, after passing, go to Sai-no-kawara, the dried-up riverbed of souls in the underworld. Due to their limited experience (karma), they must build small stone towers, each representing a prayer. However, every night, oni, or devils, destroy these towers, forcing the young souls to start anew.

Jizo comes to their aid, wandering and hiding the children in his red bibs, ensuring their safety. The red bibs likely have historical significance. During the Asuka period (522-645AD), children with illnesses like chickenpox wore red bibs to distinguish them from others. Red is also considered a color of protection and security.
