The town’s prominence grew during the early 17th century with the establishment of Toshogu Shrine. Ieyasu was one of the most influential figures in Japanese history, having united the country after a period of intense civil war. Upon his death in 1616, the shrine was created not only as a place of burial but also to legitimize and solidify the power of the Tokugawa Shogunate by tying the ruling family to the divine, reinforcing their authority as protectors of Japan. This made Toshogu Shrine a symbol of political power and spiritual sanctity. Nikko not only holds historical and spiritual significance but also offers a peaceful retreat. The town's lush forests, serene lakes, and majestic waterfalls create a peaceful atmosphere that complements its rich heritage. As a sacred destination, Nikko was created not only as a place of spiritual importance but also as a sanctuary, where people could come to find solace and reflect amidst stunning natural surroundings.
