Nikkō

The shrines and temples of Nikkō are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Futarasan Shrine and Tōshō-gū are both Shinto shrines and Rinnō-ji is a Buddhist temple. The surrounding cedar forest on the mountain was planted in the 17th century.

Yomeimon Gate: Around the back of the gate, one of the pillars is actually upside down. Apparently, this was on purpose so the gate isn’t complete, since that could bring bad luck.Meer informatie
