Japan Travel | World Cultural Heritage - Nikko Toshogu Shrine

Coming to Nikko is to see the World Cultural Heritage - Nikko Toshogu Shrine, built to commemorate Tokugawa Ieyasu. It rained for two days, and climbing the shrine in the rain was quite a physical test. Because it was the weekend, there were people and umbrellas everywhere, making me feel like I was in the domestic Golden Week in a second. This 250 RMB scenic spot only accepts cash, is it worth it? Yes. There are monks explaining at the place where the dragon roars, and I saw the statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the three monkeys, and the sleeping cat, which have also been made into various peripherals. The most beautiful place requires you to take off your shoes and enter, and no photos are allowed. Fortunately, I saw a couple holding a traditional wedding, and there was live accompaniment. The five-story pagoda charges separately, 300 yen, and there was no time to go to the treasure museum. Before coming to Toshogu Shrine, you will pass the Shinkyo Bridge, the ticket is 300 yen, only cash is accepted, and large-denomination banknotes are not accepted. It's just standing on the bridge and taking a look, not worth it.
