Nikko

Few cities in Tochigi Prefecture have a history as closely tied to the Tokugawa shogunate as Nikko. The city developed around Nikkō Tōshō-gū, the shrine where Tokugawa Ieyasu is enshrined, and its ornate early-17th-century buildings form part of the UNESCO-listed Shrines and Temples of Nikko. The Daiya River runs through the area below the mountains of Nikkō National Park, while the vermilion Shinkyō Bridge marks the approach to the shrine precincts. Beyond the central temples, Nikko’s municipality extends to Lake Chūzenji and Kegon Falls in the mountains. Browse additional webcams nearby to see how Nikko relates to the wider Tochigi landscape.
