• Toshogu Shrine

The “Shrines and Temples of Nikko” are a representative world heritage of Japan. The most famous “Nikko Toshogu Shrine” is a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and most of the current shrines and temples were rebuilt during the “Great Reconstruction” during the Kanei era by the third shogun Iemitsu in 1636. There are 55 buildings in the precinct, including 8 national treasures and 34 important cultural properties, which are breathtaking in their magnificent beauty. Built by master craftsmen from all over the country, these buildings are decorated with lacquer and brilliant colors, and many carvings are decorated on the pillars.

• Irohazaka

The mountain road is about 16 kilometers long and is one of the 100 best roads in Japan. The first Irohazaka slope road for downhill and the second Irohazaka slope road for uphill have a total of 48 sharp turns. You can also enjoy the expansive autumn foliage scenery at the foot of the mountain from the car. Due to the altitude difference of about 440 meters, you can see the beautiful scene of the autumn foliage line gradually descending. In addition, at Kurokamidaira and Akechidaira on the way, you can admire the vast landscape of the Kanto Plain.

• Kegon Falls

One of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan, it was designated as a national scenic spot in 1931 and selected as one of the 100 selected geological sites in Japan in 2007. It is great place to cool off in the summer. It is about 7 meters wide and 97 meters high. It is one of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan along with Nachi Falls (Wakayama Prefecture) and Fukuroda Falls (Ibaraki Prefecture).

Spring: The Kegon Gorge is filled with blooming ”Yashio-Tsutsuji” azaleas, painting the hillsides pink, making people feel the arrival of spring.
Summer: Kegon Falls is surrounded by lush greenery and has plenty of water. It’s so majestic! You may even get wet from the mist.
Autumn: You can enjoy the beautiful combination of bright red leaves and Kegon Falls.
Winter: A giant chandelier-like glow! The entire waterfall is covered in blue ice as the tiny waterfalls freeze over.

It can be said that the scenery is different throughout the year.
