Nikko's Heilige Schätze und Naturwunder

Nikko beherbergt eine Konzentration von UNESCO-Welterbestätten und Naturdenkmälern im Nikko-Nationalpark. Diese Auswahl hebt den opulenten Tōshō-gū-Schrein, die letzte Ruhestätte von Tokugawa Ieyasu, und das Mausoleum Taiyuin hervor. Bedeutende religiöse Stätten wie der Rinnō-ji-Tempel und der Futarasan-jinja-Schrein werden durch die ikonische Shinkyo-Brücke ergänzt. Die vulkanische Geografie der Region wird durch die 97 Meter hohen Kegon-Fälle, den Chūzenji-See am Fuße des Berges Nantai und die weitläufige Holzarchitektur der Kaiserlichen Villa Tamozawa repräsentiert.

Nikko's UNESCO Heritage Sites

The Shrines and Temples of Nikko comprise 103 buildings across three main complexes: the Tōshō-gū Shinto shrine, the Futarasan-jinja Shinto shrine, and the Rinnō-ji Buddhist temple. Dating primarily from the 17th century, these structures represent the pinnacle of Edo-period architecture and artistic decoration. The site serves as the final resting place of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and illustrates the historical fusion of Shinto and Buddhist traditions within a sacred forest landscape of ancient cedar trees.
