    The architectural style of Toshogu Shrine is unique, combining traditional Japanese architecture with the Baroque style. Gold, black and white are used extensively, and the decoration is extremely elegant and luxurious. The gates such as the Yangming Gate and the Tang Gate are exquisitely carved. The Yangming Gate is decorated with 508 carvings based on Chinese allusions. The Tang Gate is painted with white powder and decorated with carvings of various themes. As a shrine dedicated to the first shogun of the Edo Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toshogu Shrine witnessed the important Edo period in Japanese history and carries rich historical and cultural connotations.

    This is definitely a place worth visiting. You must watch the ninja show, it's very exciting, but taking photos is prohibited. Watching the show is enough. The boys and girls here are handsome and kind. I saw them playing with many things. There is a special car to Nikko, I think Google had a bumpy road.

    Chuzenji Lake - Japan's highest natural lake - in the autumn leaves season, the lake reflects the surrounding mountains and autumn leaves, forming a beautiful picture. Chuzenji Lake, also known as the Sea of ​​Happiness (Satsu-no- umi), is located in Nikko National Park, Tochigi Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. The lake covers an area of ​​11.62 square kilometers, a circumference of 25 kilometers, an altitude of 1,269 meters, and a depth of 163 meters.

    Kegon Falls is a waterfall located in Nikko National Park in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It comes from Lake Chuzenji and is connected to the Otani River, one of the tributaries of the Kinugawa River. The reason for the formation of Kegon Falls is that the water pressure of Lake Chuzenji is very high, causing water leakage at the bottom of the lake, and the water flows down the valley to form a waterfall. Kegon Falls is known as the "three major waterfalls in Japan". Designated as a national scenic spot of Japan in 1931

    It's a traditional hot spring town with a long history. It's famous for its ruins, but it has all the tourist facilities and isn't too crowded, so you can relax. The suspension bridge is old and I was a bit worried about whether it was still OK, but it was quite impressive.

    It was like an underground city. It was so beautiful. This was the filming location for the live-action version of Rurouni Kenshin. Because it's underground, it's cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.
