(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Toshogu Butokuden
Tōshō-gū is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was initially built in 1617, during the Edo period, while Ieyasu's son Hidetada was shōgun. It was enlarged during the time of the third shōgun, Iemitsu. Ieyasu is enshrined there, where his remains are also entombed.
Shinkyo Bridge
The Shinkyo, also known as the Sacred Bridge at Nikko, serves as the gateway to the Futarasan Shrine. Originally reconstructed in its current striking red lacquered appearance in 1636 by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third Tokugawa shogun (1603-1651), this bridge replaced an earlier construction dating back to 808.
Kegon Falls
Both the waterfall and Lake Chuzenji were formed 15,000 years ago when a volcanic eruption of Mount Nantai blocked the Daiya River. The waterfall is 97 meters high and the amount of water falling from the falls is believed to average 3 tons per second as it plunges down into the 4.5-meter-deep basin below.
