    January 23, 2020 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    Main site in Nikkō is the UNESCO word heritage temple Tōshō-gú, a lavish Shintō complex set in an idyllic natural setting was the place within which Tokugawa Ieyasu (who ruled Japan and established the first shogun and founder of Japan’s last feudal military government)- fascinating for a history buff. The site now sits as a shrine for him and his wife, both of which are buried in the complex on top of a large hill.

    The main sites at the complex are the five-stories pagoda, the grand Honji-dō (famous crying dragon) and many many more!
