Nikko Toshogu is the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled Japan for over 260 years.
Unlike most Shinto shrines, it is intentionally lavish, using color, gold, and detailed carvings to symbolize political power and divine authority.
This site perfectly represents the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism that shaped pre-modern Japan.

Nikko Futarasan Shrine
Futarasan Shrine is dedicated to the sacred mountains of Nikko, which have been worshipped as deities since ancient times.
Rather than impressive buildings, the true focus here is nature itself—mountains, forests, and water.
This shrine shows the original Shinto belief that gods reside in the natural world.

It was founded by the monk Shodo Shonin, who introduced Buddhism to this region in the 8th century.
