Absolutely amazing. Indispensable stop in the travel. You need almost two or tree days to see everything. But with only one is enough to see almost one or two of the most impressive sanctuaries.

Absolutely lovely shrine, worth a visit! Wear slip-on shoes as you take them off a lot. The 200 steps to the inner shrine is pretty hard going and not stunning, if you have bad knees give it a miss.

Amazing architecture. Though the main shrine is under renovation until 2019, you can still get to see the inside of it. Just be prepared to take off your shoes!

What makes Toshogu so unique is its architecture - not Shinto or Buddhist but combination of both.It's also sumptuously decorated in gold,unlike other Japanese shrines & temples which r much simpler.

Glad we made it here cos no shrines or temples we've seen in Tokyo even come close 2this.So deserving of its UNESCO heritage status!D heavily-forested site covers a wide area so 1 day is needed 2c all

super gorgeous. i went nov 6 and the leaves were beautiful, there were plenty of tourists at that time, and it got busier through the month. watch the autumn leaf forecasts online to plan your visit.

This place is rightfully a treasure. Beautiful. Find the original "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" monkeys, but look at the other monkey panels. They tell the monkey's life journey!

This is not a shrine to be missed! Make sure you visit if you're in the area.

If I had to choose between the shrines, I would pick this and Takio-Jinja. The scale is just huge. Downside - there at"re many people here!

An amazing shrine to see in person while learning so much about the history. Be prepared to walk up and down a lot of stairs.

Yomeimon, one of the most beautiful gates in Japan, is under restoration from 2013 to 2017 so you won't be able to see it during this time.
Ryan BrightOctober 7, 2016
This was one of my favorite shrines to visit in Japan. The walks around the area are very scenic and peaceful.

Don't miss the "crying dragon". Watch the full demonstration and hear the dragon roar! It's at the end before the exit.

Amazing architecture and fine art of Japanese greatest shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu tombstone

【世界文化遺産】現在の社殿群はそのほとんどがご鎮座から20年後の寛永13年(1636)に建て替えられたもの。陽明門など55棟、その費用は、金56万8千両、銀百貫匁、米千石を要し、ご造営の総責任者には秋元但馬守泰朝、工事や大工の総責任者には大棟梁甲良豊後宗広があたり、わずか1年5ヶ月の工期で完成しました。

初詣期間中、石鳥居のやや手前の砂利道に日光郵便局が出張所を開設。日光駅前郵便局、日光郵便局が元日とかで休みでもここでハガキや年賀ハガキを買って差出せる。オリジナル切手シートの販売や、二荒山・輪王寺のオリジナルスタンプなどの特典もある。

Sigue siendo un gran templo y muy bonito auque esté en restauracion. Diferente al resto de los santuarios en Japón

Un lugar con mucho encanto. Tienes una ruta que bordea el conjunto... para amantes de la naturaleza

Los templos hermosos. Lugar interesante

Che dire... Nikko è imperdibile. Unico rimpianto: non esserci andata ad autunno più inoltrato per godere dei colori delle foglie.

大人は拝観料で1,300円も払わなければならない。

三猿が有名ですが鳴龍がなかなか珍しいと思いました。1300円入場料払うなら見た方がいいかと。

色彩鮮やか。永らく品質を保てるのは、歴史の勝者故か？
