Nikko (literally 'sunlight' or 'sunshine') is a city located in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Located approximately 140 km north of Tokyo and approximately 35 km west of Utsunomiya, the capital of Tochigi, it is a popular destination for Japanese and international tourists, housing the mausoleum of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nikko Tosho-gu) and that of his grandson Iemitsu (Iemitsu-byo Taiyu-in), as well as the Futarasan Shrine, which dates to the year 767. There are also many famous hot springs (onsen) in the area. Elevations range from 200 to 2,000 m. The mountains west of the main city are part of Nikko National Park and contain some of the country's most spectacular waterfalls and scenic trails. Shodo Shonin established the temple of Rinno-ji in 766, followed by the temple of Chuzen-ji in 784. The village of Nikko developed around these temples. The shrine of Nikko Tosho-gu was completed in 1617 and became a major draw of visitors to the area during the Edo period. It is known as the burial place of the famous Japanese shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. A number of new roads were built during this time to provide easier access to Nikko from surrounding regions. Nikko Tosho-gu, Futarasan Shrine, and Rinno-ji now form the UNESCO World Heritage Site Shrines and Temples of Nikko ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
