Located in Tochigi Prefecture, at the northeastern tip of Kanto Plain, lie the Nikko (日光; lit. Sunlight) volcanic mountains, rising screen-like to a height of over 2,000 meters.  Soaring from its expansive natural ridge is Nantai-zan (男体山; Mt. Nantai; 2,484.5 m), at 2,484 meters the highest of them.  Nantaizan, literally means "manly-form mountain," was a sacred mountain for the "Sangaku-shinko" (山岳信仰; Mountain-worshipping) since ancient times.  With its sacred ground at the foot of the mountain enveloped by the luxuriant fragrance of 1,000-year-old cryptomeria, Nikko Tosho-gu is magnificently enshrined for all eternity.  Nikko Tosho-gu, built in 1636, is the mausoleum of the Shogun (Generalissimo) Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康) who put an end to the Sengoku civil war period (1467-1568) and laid the foundation for the 250-year period of peace leading up to the Meiji Restoration of 1868.

  Even though Nikko Tosho-gu is a wooden architecture, it shows us a singular elegance leavened by time and yet without the slightest sign of deterioration.  It stands as a brilliant example of Japanese Baroque architecture built with unsparing expense and labor, and crystallizing new techniques and systematic administration based on innovative methods.  This colossal monument hails the arrival of modernism in Japanese architecture, displaying techniques and thinking of an altogether new kind.
  The following description is quoted from the UNESCO World Heritage Centre Website:

  The shrines and temples of Nikko, together with their natural surroundings, have for centuries been a sacred site known for its architectural and decorative masterpieces.  They are closely associated with the history of the Tokugawa Shoguns.


  As for Nikko City (lit. City of Sunlight): Since the merger of the five municipalities (Imaichi City, Nikko City, Fujiwara Town, Ashio Town and Kuriyama Village) on March 20, 2006, it covers a total area of 1,449.87 sq. km, which is more or less equivalent to one-fourth of the entire land area of Tochigi Prefecture.  Nikko City is surrounded by the Nikko Volcanoes, the upper basin of the Kinugawa River and the basin of the Daiya-gawa River, etc.  The current population is 94,284 (October 2005).

Shinkyo		"Shinkyo" (神橋; lit.

Snake Bridge with a Sedge) since the late Nara Period in the eighth century.  You will see a unique infrastructure with large wooden material embedded into the earth or stone basement on the both shores.   The present bridge ( 28 m long; 7.4 m wide; 10.6 m above river level) was restored between 1997 and 2005: It took eight years!  It costed 800,000,000 yen.
