Nikko Toshogu Shrine Winter

From tokyo station to kai nikko.

Nikko toshogu shrine winter. The structure is decorated with lacquer and rich coloring and many of the pillars feature carvings and sculptures. I started walking around nikko toshogu from sando approach to the shrine. Toshogus buildings and pagoda feature intricate carvings and are painted in vibrant colors. Inside this modern building is an impressive collection of the former shoguns personal effects from armor and swords to writing utensils and letters that he wrote.

Located outside the paid shrine area the nikko toshogu museum homotsukan was opened in 2015 to commemorate the 400 year anniversary of tokugawa ieyasu s death. In winter the bus route gets gradually less and less busy the further away from nikko you go. The tomb of ieyasu.

With waterfalls and wastelands mountains and macaques oku nikko has lots to offer. The 3 kai properties in nikko area kai nikko kai kawaji and kai kinugawa will provide free shuttle bus services during this winter season. The shrine is quite different from usually staid japanese style shrines. So much so that by the time you reach yudaki waterfall you may find you have the place to yourself.
