World Heritage Nikko Tour

Nikko-the place of the World Heritage sites that includes the Toshogu Shrine, Futarasan Shrine, Rinnoji Temple and Taiyuin.
Toshogu Shrine, established in 1618 enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate that governed Japan from 1603 to 1868. Its extravagant structures fascinate all the visitors. You will see remarkable National Treasures, such as the three monkeys which -“see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” and the “sleeping cat”, among others.
Futarasan Shrine was founded by a famous Buddhist monk, Shodo Shonin. Here you can see Japan’s ancient mountain worship, because the shrine is dedicated to the mountain Nantai.
Rinnoji Temple was also founded by Shodo Shonin. Sanbutusdo (the three-Buddhist-statues Hall) is worth visiting. Taiyuin is the mausoleum of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the 3rd Shogun and grandson of Ieyasu. It is less extravagant than the Toshogu. But its mysterious atmosphere will surely impress you.
