The more famous attraction in Nikko is Nikko Toshogu Shrine, the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu rested
There are already three World Heritage Sites in Toshogu Shrine☺️ Among them are Toshogu Shrine Niarasan Shrine and Nikkosan Wonnoji Temple❤️
From Tokyo it is a recommended attraction for a day trip
If you are really serious about walking, you will definitely walk in half a day😚 So you can arrange one more attraction👍🏻
We didn't have too much time this time so we only went to the Niarayama Shrine of the second shrine and one temple⛩️
Nikko Niarayama Shrine⛩️ The official name is Niarayama Shrine
However, in order to distinguish it from the Niarasan Shrine in Utsunomiya City, it is usually added with the place name 🫶🏻 which is what I call Nikko Niarasan Shrine😌
This shrine was founded in about 767 and the style of the shrine architectural structure is stone for the foundation of the wooden structure right now made!! ️
The second main gods he worships are the three mountain gods of Nikko 🤔 They are the life of Okichi Takahiro and the life of Mizuko Takahiro 👍🏻 so they are collectively known as the great gods of Erbara Mountain 😝
These are introduced in Japanese however if you want to know more clearly you can check online
There is a couple tree and parent-child tree in front of Nihuangshan Shrine🤔
Legends can bless couples' relationship and parent-child relationship 🥰 Remember to read when you see it
In addition, Nihuangsan Shrine has the Nihuang Spirit Spring, known as the Water of Beauty 👍🏻
He is at the back of the main hall!! ️ Its spring water is clear 🤏🏻 Local legend says that drinking it can bring you peace 😝 However, entering requires a 300 yen 💴 ticket 🎫
Sometimes you can go in and have a look
