Nikko&#8217;s Toshogu Shrine is home to the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. \u00a0A UNESCO world heritage site, the shrine is well known for richly decorated and lavish ornate buildings within a beautiful forest and each are categorized as a National Treasure of Japan.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/nikko-toshogu-shrine-tokugawa\/nikko-1-of-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8862\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/nikko-1-of-1-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"The Nikko shrine Toshogu Shrine, National Treasure after National Treasure among Nikko nature\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Toshogu Shrine charges a 1300 yen total fee for admission.

You can also take this line for Kinugawa Onsen or Edo Wonderland.\u00a0 Buying the 2-day Nikko pass is highly recommended as it includes local bus services while also being a cheaper price than a round trip from Asakusa. You must buy this pass in advance before your trip. It is also recommend to go early on weekdays if it is a day trip to avoid crowds and have enough time for exploring the Nikko outside Toshogu Shrine and its every National Treasure.<\/p>\n<p>2-Day Nikko Pass:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.tobu.co.jp\/foreign\/en\/pass\/<\/p>\n<p>Tobu-Railway Timetable:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tobu.co.jp\/foreign\/en\/using\/timetable.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.tobu.co.jp\/foreign\/en\/using\/timetable.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you arrive at JR Tobu-Nikko, you can either walk to Toshogu or take the bus. I recommend taking the &#8220;World Heritage&#8221; bus first until the last stop, then walk down about 25 minutes back to the station to explore the various shops and restaurants along the way. The bus departs from both JR Nikko and Tobu-Nikko, running frequently.\u00a0 Along the way you will see Nikko\u2019s beautiful landscapes along with Nikko Bridge.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8875\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/nikko-toshogu-shrine-tokugawa\/20160227_162425_mh1456558613773\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8875\" class=\"wp-image-8875\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160227_162425_mh1456558613773-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"A heritage bridge by each National Treasure among Toshogu Shrine, Nikko\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikko Bridge<\/p><\/div>\n[cft format=0]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toshogu Shrine is a great cultural value.
