The Shrines and Temples of Nikko - UNESCO World Heritage - Japan 2023
The Shrines and Temples of Nikko is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It comprises 103 historic buildings, including 9 national treasures and 94 important cultural properties. The buildings belong to two Shinto shrines, Nikko Toshogu and Nikko Futarasan-jinja, and one Buddhist temple, Rinnoji. Nine of the structures are designated National Treasures of Japan, while the remaining 94 are Important Cultural Properties. 38 buildings of Rinnoji temple are included in the nomination. One structure, comprising the Honden, Ainoma, and Haiden of the Taiyuin Mausoleum, is a registered National Treasure of Japan, and 37 are Important Cultural Properties. The shrines and temples of Nikko have been a sacred site for centuries and are closely associated with the history of the Tokugawa Shoguns.
The most noteworthy of Nikko’s religious buildings is Toshogu, where Tokugawa Ieyasu was enshrined after his death in 1616. Twenty years later, Ieyasu’s grandson (Iemitsu, the third Tokugawa shogun) constructed an elaborate complex around Ieyasu's mausoleum.
This is a very popular destination and a must see for history lovers. I was very fortunate to be able to visit.
