The beautiful vermilion-painted bridge "Shin-kyo'' that spans the entrance to Nikko Sannai is a structure of Futarasan Shrine. Let's also visit the bridge, which can be called the entrance to the world heritage site "Shrines and Temples of Nikko".

It began in 766 when Shodo Shonin, the founder of the Nikko Mountains, built Shihonryuji Temple. The main mountain along with Mt. Toei and Mt. Hiei.
It is a collective name for the temples and towers and 15 branch temples in the mountains of Nikko, and is registered as a World Heritage Site as the "Shrines and Temples of Nikko." The main attractions are Sanbutsu-do, the main hall of Mt. Nikko, and Taiyu-in, the mausoleum of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Founded in 1617. Nikko Toshogu Shrine, which enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu, was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1999 as a "Shrine and Temple of Nikko,'' consisting of the buildings and grounds of Nikkozan Rinnoji Temple and Nikko Futarasan Shrine. There are the gorgeous Yomeimon Gate, where each detailed carving has a wish for peace, and the Shinkyusha Hall, where three monkeys are carved, said to represent the life of a person. Each building and sculpture holds its own unique meaning, and as you explore, listening to their stories, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the rich and fascinating history they embody.

A small valley along the Daiya River. A natural beauty created by the lava erupted from Mt. Nantai and the clear stream of the Daiya River. The quay was eroded by the strong currents, creating the current landscape. Along the side are a group of Jizo statues called "Bake Jizo" which means 'transform+Jizo statue' in Japanese, so named because of the legend that the number of Jizo statues changes between going and returning.

A large waterfall with a height of 97m that is counted as one of Japan's three great waterfalls. If you take the elevator down to the viewing platform about 100 meters below, you will be able to get up close to the waterfall, and some people will be stunned by the impressive view. Enjoy both the spectacular force of the water of Lake Chuzenji falling down the cliff and the beautiful contrast between the magnificent nature of each season, such as fresh greenery, autumn leaves, and snowy scenery.

Established in 784, Chugu Shrine is dedicated to the deity of Mt. Nantai, a sacred mountain revered since ancient times. The name 'Chugu' translates to 'middle shrine' in Japanese because it is positioned between the Okumiya at the summit of Mt. Nantai and the main shrine located in Nikko city at the base. Depending on the date, we will prepare a viewing of "Yaotome Music". Yaotome music is said to have originally been performed by the so-called "Yaotome", the shrine maidens of Futarasan Shrine, on a hereditary basis. Please enjoy a mystical moment in the solemn atmosphere as you listen to the sounds of the dragon flute and drums and pray for a bountiful harvest.

Ryuzu Falls is one of the three famous waterfalls of Oku-Nikko, and is also known as the Five Famous Falls of Nikko, along with Kegon Falls. It was formed by the eruption of Mt. Nantai, and flows for about 210 meters through a stepped rocky area about 10 meters wide. It gets its name from the fact that it splits into two parts near the basin of the waterfall, resembling a dragon's head. There is a promenade running parallel to the waterfall, so why not enjoy a 10-minute walk from the basin of the waterfall to the top of the waterfall?
