Visiting Nikko’s Toshogu Shrine

Fine carvings and immaculate structures

It would be hard to visit Nikko without seeing at least one of the world heritage sites for which this city is famous.

This is a predicament I found myself in when passing the grand gates of the lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine where I decided to cough up the hefty 1,300 Yen entrance fee.

Dedicated to Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1617, (the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate), Toshogu Shrine rightfully achieved UNESCO recognition in 1999.
