Japan’s Iconic World Heritage Site and Shrine Dedicated to the Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa.
Nikko Toshogu is a shrine dedicated to the Edo shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa.
It is the most visited spot within the World Heritage Site “Shrines and Temples of Nikko,” and here you can see 55 exceptional buildings, including 8 that have been designated as national treasures and 34 that have been designated as Important Cultural Properties.
Lacquers and beautiful colors applied by skilled craftsmen from across Japan decorate the buildings, and the pillars feature various sculptures and figures.
The shrine’s “Five-Storied Pagoda” is over 36 meters tall, yet it is also earthquake-resistant. The same seismic base isolation techniques used on the pagoda are also used in Tokyo Skytree’s earthquake control system. Nikko Toshogu is also famous for its sculptures of the “three wise monkeys,” which see no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil. Furthermore, the entire grounds is covered in a wide variety of vivid sculptures, so there’s always something to see, like “Yomeimon,” which is also known as “higurashi-no-mon.”
