Tokyo to Nikko day trip is actually really a lot to see!! ️The monuments plus its natural scenery is really amazing🫶🏻
Known as one of the three wonder bridges in Japan, Nikko Shinbashi is located near Nikko Niarayama Shrine ⛩️ 🤣 you will see it by bus 🚌
It is widely known as the sacred bridge of daylight🤪
The appearance of Shinbashi is bright vermilion 👍🏻 It is a nationally important cultural property designated by Japan🗾🤩
The beautiful shape of the bridge is full of Japanese🇯🇵 flavor😌
So there are many tourists who make the pilgrimage every day😚 When crossing the bridge, you can enjoy the architecture up close 👍🏻👍🏻
The divine bridge itself belongs to Nikko Niarayama Shrine❤️ is a wooden red lacquer bridge across the Otani River😬
It has been registered as a World Heritage Site in 1999!! ️Very noteworthy
Its bridge is 28 meters long and 10.6 meters above the water ☺️
Legend has it that one day in the late Nara period, the monk Katsushika-chan was unable to move forward because he was blocked by the Otani River Rapids in order to practice to Mount Nantai
So he chanted sutras and prayed for the blessings of the gods 🙏🏻 Then a Buddhist guardian god appeared and built a bridge 😚 This is the origin of the sacred bridge 😂 It's amazing
The Divine Bridge was painted with vermilion paint in 1636🤩 However, it was washed away by floods in 1902 and rebuilt in 1904🥲
The Divine Bridge is a very famous attraction!! ️The Divine Bridge is a mysterious and sacred bridge so it has always been respected by the world☺️
You need to buy tickets to cross the bridge😚 Adults are 300 yen🤔 If you want to take pictures on the bridge📸️ can buy
However, the other side of the bridge is no way feasible. After taking pictures, you have to turn back the same way ❤️
You can buy wishing paper airplanes at the ticket office😌
I heard that just write down your wish on a paper plane and throw it out to Otani Kawa at Kamibashi to realize your wish 🙏🏻 I think you can try it 🤔
Address: Kamitoshi-cho, Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture
