Overview:
- Nikko Toshogu Shrine boasts top-class popularity in the Nikko area.

- As a particularly popular spot, be mindful of the crowds.
Description:
Nikko Toshogu Shrine is one of the components of the World Heritage site 'Shrines and Temples of Nikko', celebrated for its magnificent buildings and various elements. The delicate yet majestic and beautiful structures, which are hard to believe were built in the Edo period, are highly recommended for a thorough visit. However, due to its popularity, the site can be very crowded, so please be cautious about the timing of your visit.
