- Nikko Tosho-gu - Toshogu Shrine in Nikko is the resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which ruled Japan for over 250 years until the end of the Edo Period in 1868. This shrine complex is 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 occurring lake. It was formed 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 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 rebuild. Jizo comes to their aid, hiding the children in his red bibs, offering them protection. The red bibs likely date back to the Asuka period (522-645AD), when children with illnesses like chickenpox wore red bibs for identification. Red is also considered a color of protection and safety.
