Yokoso! Japan

Nikko has been one of the foremost areas of mountain worship in Japan since ancient times. Nikko flourished as a land associated with the Tokugawa family after the enshrinement in the Toshogu of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo government (Year 1603-1867), in 1617. The sophistication of Edo Period architecture and arts such as sculpture and ornamentation can be seen in Nikko Toshogu Shrine today. The Lake Chuzenji that spreads at the base of Mt.Nantai is famous for beautiful sceneries of nature in every season.
