The Shinkyo Bridge (Shinkyō, "sacred bridge") stands at the entrance to Nikko's shrines and temples, and technically belongs to Futarasan Shrine. The bridge is ranked as one of Japan's three finest bridges together with Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Toshogu Shrine in Nikko. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which controlled Japan for more than 250 years until 1868, or the Edo Period, is buried at this temple. This shrine complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you explore its magnificence, your guide can tell you fascinating tales about the architecture.

Located in the Kanmangafuchi area of Nikko, these stone Jizo statues are lined up in front of a wall and stretch a hundred meters or so, looking down upon the Daiyagawa River. Jizo are the protectors of the souls of travelers and unborn children. The statues here are also known as “Bake Jizo” or “Ghost Jizo” apparently because each time you count them, the total never comes out the same!

Kegon Falls is a waterfall in Nikko city that is 97 meters high. The fall receives its water supply from Chuzenji Lake. One of Japan's three tallest waterfalls, Kegon Falls, offers an elevator for guests to experience the forceful falls

Situated within the Nikko National Park to the west of Nikko, Lake Chuzenji is the highest naturally occurring lake in Japan. It originated some 20,000 years ago when the Daiyo River was choked by the lava flow from the nearby Mt. Nantai's eruption. At 1,269 meters, the lake marks the top of the altitude scale.
