Nikko Toshogu Shrine - The most renowned shrine of “the Shrines and Temples of Nikko”-a UNESCO world heritage site where Ieyasu Tokugawa, the great Shogun who started the Edo Period, is enshrined. Most of the shrine complex you see today was rebuilt in 17th century. The shrine contains 55 buildings including 8 national treasures and 34 listed buildings. The highlights are many colorful buildings which are richly decorated with gorgeous carvings. Do not miss the symbol of peace “Sleeping Cat”, and the “Three Monkeys” with the “see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil” poses! It was already closed when we got there so we didn't see what's inside. We went in November, most of the leaves fell. Best time to experience autumn in Nikko is prolly October. It's extremely cold in Nikko so just be ready. Location: 2301 Sannai, Nikko-city, Tochigi Prefecture #helloautumn

When I hear a place described using the words “best” or “most”, I become skeptical of the claim. Sometimes I’m even disappointed upon visiting, since not every place warrants such high praise. However, that was not the case with Nikko Toshogu Shrine- it absolutely lives up to the hype of being called Japan’s most lavishly decorated shrine. Once you’re at the foot of Sakashita-mon Gate, get ready to climb a flight of 207 stone steps within the tranquil forest backdrop until you reach the tomb of Ieyasu. While the climb may seem daunting, Nikko’s stunning natural surroundings make the trek to the tomb more than worth it. #givethanks #givethanks

Coming to Nikko is to see the World Cultural Heritage - Nikko Toshogu Shrine, built to commemorate Tokugawa Ieyasu. It rained for two days, and climbing the shrine in the rain was quite a physical test. Because it was the weekend, there were people and umbrellas everywhere, making me feel like I was in the domestic Golden Week in a second. This 250 RMB scenic spot only accepts cash, is it worth it? Yes. There are monks explaining at the place where the dragon roars, and I saw the statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the three monkeys, and the sleeping cat, which have also been made into various peripherals. The most beautiful place requires you to take off your shoes and enter, and no photos are allowed. Fortunately, I saw a couple holding a traditional wedding, and there was live accompaniment. The five-story pagoda charges separately, 300 yen, and there was no time to go to the treasure museum. Before coming to Toshogu Shrine, you will pass the Shinkyo Bridge, the ticket is 300 yen, only cash is accepted, and large-denomination banknotes are not accepted. It's just standing on the bridge and taking a look, not worth it.
