日光のユネスコ世界遺産

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.
