Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Nikko Toshogu is a magnificent 17th-century shrine complex in Nikko, Japan, dedicated to the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. The temple's opulent and colorful buildings are adorned with intricate carvings, creating a palace-like courtyard that feels like another world. A must-see is the renowned Yomeimon Gate, celebrated as one of Japan's most beautiful gates.
It is a beautiful temple but if you are are visiting with a baby don't come with stroller. There are many steps to climb. Get a ergo baby or any inter carrier. You can get also for 1300 yen a your photo with temple background. They are providing also digital version with printing

It's one of the most impressive shrines I've been to. Amazing architecture and detailing. The location is also beautiful and vast, there is plenty to see that's worth visiting for. There are several admission fees for the different temples/shrines, but overall, I think it was worth it.

It has great trails to hike on sunny days. So many stores and restaurants on the way too where you could get refreshments or you may use the washrooms if you needed. Keep in mind as usual, there are no garbage bins in japan so you would have to carry your litter with you until you get to the station or home. I recommend having sunblock with you because it's quite an exposed area and you need that protection.

Went on a weekday just after the rain so no queue. A magnificent temple to worship the most famous army general, Ieyasu Tokogawa. The signs are clear. The site is well-managed and clean. Happy that we got to see this world heritage.

This was just lovely after we passed the historic red bridge and began our exploration with Tosho-gu Shrine. It is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, who ruled Japan from 1603 to 1868. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was built in 1636. I try to imagine who was here a few hundred years ago.

One of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful shrines in Japan, having visited now for the second time. The historical significance of being the final resting place of Tokugawa, the shogun who unified Japan and brought about two hundred years of peace is incredible.

The Toshogu shrine in Nikko is one of these historical landmarks you must see while in Japan. It is one of the most beautiful and revered places in Japan. It is situated in the Nikko natural park and is surrounded by a beautiful nature. Parking is between 600 yens and 1000 yens depending the place. The shrine entrance is about 1300 yens, I don't remember clearly.

Even during bad weather it was a breathtaking sight. It really feels like you’re entering a different world, especially with all the stairs. The price was very reasonable and even without the audio guide there is a lot of information presented in English. You also get to see the „see nothing, hear nothing, say, nothing monkeys“ and other iconic statutes and imagery. Definitely a must-see spot
Robert Wawrzyniak — Google review
This is the most famous temple at Nikko and rightly so, for it is a treasure trove of lacquer work, wood carving and traditional architectural styles. There are a great variety of structures at the site, ranging from tombs to stables and ornately decorated gateways. The whole complex is surrounded by majestic cedars, which greatly contributes to the atmosphere. Entrance costs 1300 yen.

I didn’t get to take a picture of the red bridge which I was really looking forward to and one of the reasons why I booked this tour. So I’m pretty bummed. The trip felt was rushed. I still give 4 stars because the shrine was really wonderful. It was so big that takes more than just 1 hour and half. It wa raining that time too so better not come in the summer is was so hot and bipolar rain.

Here is another World Heritage site for its masterpiece's architectural and decorative. Prepare for a long walk and many steps to cover all the shrines and temples around the area. To get to Inner Shrine Pagoda, you have to climb up another 200+ steps. Take your times and Enjoy!

I'm not big on shrines and temples but this was a nice visit. Entering the main shrine was surreal. You have to remove your shoes and keep your phone away. It was quiet even with all the visitors, and just imagining what it was like centuries ago is just a different experience altogether. I went on a Monday afternoon, it wasn't crowded. A lot of locals and just a few chinese and western people. There are audio guides you can rent for 500 yen.
Rica Rica — Google review
The most beautiful temples I’ve visited in Japan so far. The protection of these buildings is immaculate and they weren’t burnt down in some fire and rebuilt in the 1900’s they are actually four hundred years old and are just taken care of and repainted very well. I could feel the history breathing in and out of this place. Tokugawa’s treasures were well kept and I just can’t describe in clear words how happy that I, a history lover, was to to be able to touch and be so close to something so old and well taken care of for the public. I think Tokugawa would be proud at how many people love and respect his family’s heirlooms and resting places.

Of all the shrines and temples I've visited in Japan, this could be one of the most beautiful I've seen. Set amidst the lush greenery in the mountains of Nikko, the intricate and elaborate construction and design is really awe inspiring. It really helps to put into clarity how much Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu is revered as a deity by the locals.

December 2021 the main gate was still under construction :( sad but this shrine is still worth visiting, amazing sights and colors. Admission is worth it. You can easily spend 2 hours here.
Kevin Kwok — Google review
Definitely worth the entry fee and trouble getting here. Highly recommended to visit here if you're staying in Tokyo. This is the best temple you can see from Tokyo without going half way across the country. Origin of the three wise monkeys, has a lovely pagoda. You can pay with an IC card. Very intricate carvings and painting in a fantastic gold and black color scheme. There are details everywhere you look. There is a photoservice that also takes a picture with your phone for free. The inner part can only be entered without shoes and no pictures can be taken inside the building. The steep stone steps to the northern part of the temple become extremely slippery when wet.

You can purchase the entrance ticket on the spot. I would recommend visiting this temple. It covers a wide area and has a lot of architecture to look at. It can be a bit challenging to walk around, especially when the ground is wet, so do be careful. Temple closes on time, so don't be late.

A beautiful shrine with lots to see, definitely worth a visit. Quite a lot of walking with steps so be aware if you have trouble getting around. It was very busy especially with groups of school children so a weekend visit might be quieter. Unfortunately, the day we visited we had torrential rain so not great.

The temple complex comprises several temple areas, each of which requires a separate entrance fee. Nikkō Tōshogū is the most popular, the most expensive, and the largest. Tickets must be purchased from a machine, which accepts cash, Suica card, and credit card. All other temple areas have cashiers to handle ticket sales. We spent approximately two hours visiting three paid areas. My favorite was Nikkō Tōshogū, followed by Taiyu-in Temple and Nikko Futarasan jinja Haiden. The ticket to Nikkō Tōshogū included a second ticket for entry to a building. They gather you into a group, as the guides explain the exhibits in Japanese only. At the end, the guide clapping two wooden sticks together to produce a surprisingly loud but crisp echo within the building, something about sending wishes to the dragon in the sky. We had almost forgotten about the second ticket until we heard the pleasant sound and followed it to the building. At the Taiyu-in Temple, visitors can purchase a ticket for admission to the temple only, or a combination ticket that also includes admission to the Nikkozan Rin’nōji Temple, which was not particularly interesting. The Taiyu-in temple was intricate and worth the visit. We drove to the temple and paid 700 yen to park our car in one of the 3-4 parking lots. You can take a bus from town for 300 yen one way per person. The map may give the impression that the temples are a considerable distance apart, but in reality they are quite close. Walking between them did not take a long time, but visiting the interior of each building took up the majority of our time. This is truly a beautiful UNESCO site.

Those interested in wine, this will be the right place for you. They have wine that are made from Japan produced grapes which have a different quality compared to imported grapes directly from overseas and imported grapes grown in Japan.

I love the white wine here called ``Mahoroba no Kifujin'' and always buy it when I go home. It is sweet and has a refreshing aftertaste, almost like juice. I think even people who don't like wine can enjoy it.

(Translated by Google) I wanted to buy ``Takahata Chardonnay Barrel Fermented Night Harvest'' (Sorry if I'm wrong), which was highly praised in the manga ``Kami no Shizuku'', but I was told that the product was not available as it was only available in small quantities. I was disappointed that I didn't have the wine I was looking for, but I was satisfied with the other wines I was able to sample. There was also a charge for a glass of wine, which tasted great. If you are visiting, we would like you to sample all the wines and take your time to enjoy the aroma and taste of the paid wines. I drank it this time to express my gratitude for driving to my destination every day. thank you (Original) 漫画の「神の雫」で絶賛された ‘’高畠シャルドネ樽発酵ナイトハーベスト‘’ (間違っていたらゴメンナサイ)を購入したかったけど少量限定なので製品が無いと教えてもらった。 目的ワインが無いのは残念でしたが試飲できる他のワインを飲んで満足しました。またグラスワインも有料でしたか素晴らしい味わいでした。 是非、訪れる方がおられたら全てのワインの試飲と有料ワインの香りと口に含んた味わいをゆっくり堪能していただきたいと思います。 日頃、目的地まで運転している私に感謝の気持ちだということて今回は飲ませていただきました。 ありがとう

It's an ideal destination for families as it offers both beginner and expert runs.

A great experience. Went to buy a lift pass and was asked to scan a QR Code and fill in my details. Did this showed the 'ticket guy', and he gave me a free all day lift pass! The runs are great with plenty of options, from green runs to black. Was not overly crowded (was a Monday). You can get your board waxed, on snow, for free! Definitely recommend this for those wanting a great day on snow.

I have been to many places for Snowboarding but this is one of my favorite. There are many reasons : 1. Lift price is wayyyy cheaper than any other places. 2. There are too many lifts for going higher. 3. From beginner to advanced they have all the courses. 4. Snow are well maintained always. 5. Stuffs are kind and helpful. 6. The nearest conbini is just 2 km away. 7. There are many restaurants within 3km. 8. Many parking areas. 9. They have night game up to 22:00. 10. Many resting places. 11. Vending machines are not that expensive. Only negative points I saw 1. While purchasing ticket for my friend is that in the central ticket purchasing counter they have only one window for general line and two windows for those who reserved ticket online (may be to promote to buy online but they should consider the long queue in the general line) 2. Some stuffs are not well trained. However skipping the minor things, I’m pretty sure you will definitely enjoy this place both perfect for ski and snowboarding. Forgot to mention that they had Fireworks in the evening from Dec . 30 to Jan 4. It was amazing !
Santanu Saha — Google review
There was a variety of slopes but most of the snow was hard, bumpy or choppy and was hard to traverse through. Only on days with optimal weather conditions, there is perfect snow. The purchase of the lift ticket took a while because there was an online registration to get a QR code. The chairlift ride was decent. The rentals were high quality and expensive and gave a better experience and the restaurant also had many good options.

Inawashiro Ski Paradise is the perfect place for families to go because there is a mix of beginner and expert ski runs. I highly recommend going on Sunday mornings for the sunrise ski at 6:30am on the Minero side of the ski resort. It's the best time to enjoy fresh powder and short lines. It's also worth joining the Inawashiro Ski Paradise Fan Club to get discounts and updates about special events. Some special promotions on this year are fireworks and night skiing in Saturdays. Free ski and snowboard waxing. And clear globes which look like igloos that can be rented out for the day for relaxing and enjoying the view.

As a first-timer, Inawashiro Ski Resort is a great place for beginners. There are a variety of slopes for those who are not yet good at it. Rental shops are everywhere so ski and snowboarding gear won't be a problem. They also have an onsen which is quite helpful after brutal runs down the slope. The food in the cafeteria is slightly expensive though.

There is no fee, no office, and no staff at this shrine. In addition it is a rare example of a remaining Shinto shrine with a well-preserved Buddhist pagoda, which were largely destroyed when shrines and temples were separated in the Meiji period. This, along with the fact that few people bother to visit here, give it a spiritual feel absent at many other places that cater to tourists. Went in the late afternoon in September and was awed. Imagine it's beautiful in all seasons.

The shrine is made of thatched roof, and I like it very much.

(Translated by Google) 2023.11.12 The setting for this year's 22nd Michinoku solo trip is Yamagata Akayu Onsen. Although I have visited nearby areas such as Yonezawa, Kawanishi, and Takahata, this was my first visit to the Akayu area. Akutsu Hachiman appears shortly after entering Takabatake from the Miyagi Shichikashuku area. When I used the roadside station across the street, I saw a beautiful three-storied pagoda, but I never had a chance to take a closer look, so I decided to stop by the opening of this trip. A healing spot with the perfect word "Mahoroba Ko". You can see a variety of shrines on a compact site. The grounds are relatively flat, so you can easily visit the shrine. When I stepped into the main shrine, I saw that local people were cleaning it, so I decided to bow my head and worship at a distance so as not to disturb them.

(Translated by Google) "Thatched roof shrine" "Three-storied pagoda" Both buildings are impressive. The three-storied pagoda is bigger than you think when you see it up close. There used to be a temple here, but after a fire, only the three-storied pagoda remained. The large thatched roof of the main hall of the shrine is ancient. The origins are not clear, but it seems to be related to the Genji clan.

(Translated by Google) I had some free time during business hours on a weekday, so I stopped by. The sun was still high and it was quite a hot day, but the area around the main shrine was quiet and cool. This is a spot where you can feel as if time has stopped. At that time, I was feeling a little upset because I was involved in a lot of things, but I calmed down after taking a leisurely walk and visiting the shrine. I'm sure he was invited to come here because he was in such a state. It was a wonderful place where I was able to calmly and quietly reflect on myself. (Original) 平日の昼間、営業の途中で時間が空いたのでふらっと寄りました。まだ日が高く、かなり暑い日でしたが本殿のあたりは森閑としてひんやりした空気が流れておりました。まさに時間が止まったような錯覚する感じられるスポットです。またその当時、いろいろなことに巻き込まれて気持ちが少し荒んでいましたが、ゆっくりと散歩しながら参拝したところ心が落ち着きました。きっとそんな状態だったからここに来なさい、と誘われたんだと思っています。心穏やかに、そして静かに自分を見つめ直すことができたありがたい場所となりました。
