At two hours of train from Tokyo, Nikko has a lot of monuments to visit featuring UNESCO's World Heritage sites, including the Nikko Toshogu Shrine which is Japan's most lavishly decorated shrine and the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate(1603-1616). The Shrine, including the Yomeimon Gate, is full of beautiful wooden sculptures. It is said that all the country's carpenters specialized in temples were gathered for it and that people don't get tired after looking at them a whole day. The numerous animals in those sculptures are thought to be symbols of peace. Among these, you will find the famous "Three Wise Monkeys" representing the maxim "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil", taught by the Tendai Sect, a Japanese school of Buddhism There are a lot of waterfalls in Nikko but Kegon Falls is the most famous and even made it to the one of top 3 Japan's waterfall. I will talk episodes, not only talk history of each places, so that you vividly remember wonderful Nikko!
