Where to visit in Nikko

Nikko as a destination is somewhere that can only really be experienced in Japan. The country's long-standing history can be witnessed firsthand, and then afterwards, a luxurious experience at a ryokan with traditional Japanese food and warm, rich onsen hot springs to relax in.

Historic Sites

There are a number of notable temples and shrines throughout the Nikko area that are worth visiting, but three of the most acclaimed and storied are those of the two Shinto shrines named Futarasan Shrine and Toshogu Shrine, along with the Buddhist temple Rinno-ji. These three are located in the same area that is collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The entire grounds are made up of 103 different buildings, and the scenic nature that engrosses the site are also included within the World Heritage Site title. Toshogu Shrine in particular is a beloved location that was originally set up as a memorial to Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is adorned throughout with ornate decorations and home to many historical treasures.

Kinugawa Onsen

Kinugawa Onsen is likely the most popular and famous onsen hot spring town in Tochigi. The town has a picturesque river at its center and has amazing nature all around as well as distinct architecture throughout, including traditional-style Japanese buildings and homes and the famous Tobu World Square amusement park. There are reproductions of world-famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and Sphynx. A stay at a ryokan at the center of the town is a must, with high-end dining and accommodation being a signature part of the onsen town experience.
