S TORY # 01
Splendorous World Heritage /One More Spiritual Place
Nikko is one of Japan's most sacred places.
Its abundance of natural beauty anddramatic history beckons visitors
into another world.

Tales Handed Down from a Distant Past
The history of Nikko begins with Okunikko, and mountain worship being practiced
there since ancient times. In the late 8th century, the Buddhist monk Shodo Shonincame to the area to practice mountain asceticism (Shugendo). He is considered tobe the original pioneer of this secluded land, and he believed it to be sacred.
The grand tale of this unique and charming place stretches back eons into the past.
About 20,000 years ago, long before Shodo Shonin would discover Yumoto Onsen,
Lake Chuzenji was formed by an eruption of Mount Nantai. There is a local legendthat details a battle between two gods in the form of a serpent and a centipede,
which fought at Senjogahara Marshland for control of the lake.

A Sacred Place of Prayers for Peace
Nikko Toshogu Shrine, NIkko Futarasan-Jinja Shrine, and Nikko-zan Rinno-ji Temple
have a prominent presence in Nikko, and are some of Japan's most revered World
Heritage sites. Each has their own story.
Nikko Futarasan-jinja Shrine and Nikko-zan Rinno-ji Temple were founded in the Nara
period (AD 710~794). They draw on the same traditions of mountain worship as canbe found in Okunikko.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun who established the Edo shogunate, died in 1616.
Shortly thereafter, Nikko Toshogu Shrine was built in accordance with his last requests,
in devotion to his spirit as a god.
Ieyasu's choice of Nikko as the site for Nikko Toshogu Shrine had to do with the North
Star and Nikko's position in relation to his castle in Edo (Tokyo). Toshogu's famous
Yomeimon Gate was positioned so that the North Star would shine directly above. The
North Star had long been believed to be the god of the universe, and with himself
likened to that star, Ieyasu ruled as a god, and wished for permanent world peace. His
desires are symbolized in a diversity of vibrant animal carvings on the buildings of theshrine. It is indeed a sacred place, imbued with prayers for a peaceful world.

A Land of Teeming Energy
Nikko Toshogu Shrine is said to be one of Japan's foremost power spots. This isbecause it was built in an extremely favorable location, as determined by theapplication of yin & yang divination, an ancient Chinese form of natural philosophy,
as well as the Chinese concept of 'feng shui', which is used to determine locations
for anything from cities and buildings to residences and tombs. Its overflowing
energy never fails to leave a lasting impression on visitors.

Shrine, it is one of the main 'Shrines andTemples of Nikko'. The 26m-tall, 33m-wide
main structure (Sanbutsudo) is the largest
wooden building in eastern Japan. The
three figures inside (Amida Buddha, Senju
Kannon, and Hayagriva) are as tall as
7.5m. Taiyuin Temple on the west side of
Nikko Futarasan-Jinja shrine is dedicated tothe third- generation shogun, Tokugawa
Iemitsu. It has a stately gold and black
theme and is resplendent in its own way.

Nikko Toshogu Shrine is the jewel of Nikko. After the
Warring States period ended in 1615, Tokugawa Ieyasu
became t he f irst shogun of t he 260- year-long Edo
shogunate. He is worshiped as a god at Toshogu, which
was initially a very modest shrine. The third-generation
shogun and grandson of Ieyasu, Iemitsu, later saw to theconstruction of the current luxurious complex in only 17
months at an expense equivalent to about 40 billion yen
today. Everything was done by the most skilled craftsmen in
Japan at the time, from the buildings themselves to thecarvings and other decorations. With its vividly colorful
Yomeimon Gate, elaborate Karamon Gate, and various
sculptures of animals and devine beasts, this is Nikko's
representative and most overwhelming 'spiritual place'.
The Grand Spring Festival is held here in May. It features
traditional 'Sacred Archery on Horseback' (Shinji-Yabusame),
where archers gallantly ride white horses up the shrine pathand shoot at targets, and over 1,200 armored warriors
parade in a long procession.

Located on the Daiya River about 1.1
km southwest of the complex of shrines
and temples, the Kanmangafuchi
Abyss is a small ravine that wasformed by lava from Mount Nantai. At
one point along the ravine there is arow of about 70 old Jizo statues. They
are known as 'Bake Jizo' (phantomJizo), because each attempt to countthem is said to result in a different total.

Kannondo,Nikko-zan Rinno-ji Temple is dedicatedto Yoryu Kannon, a deity thought to guard against
suffering caused by illness. Many visitors come topray for a safe childbirth. The temple is also known
as 'Kyoshado', because inside there are many shogi(Japanese chess) pieces called 'kyosha'. The pieceis symbolic because in shogi it can only move in a
forward direction. It is said that pregnant women
may have an easy birth if they borrow a piece fromthe temple and place it on their household shrine.
Takinoo-jinja Shrine can be reached by hiking
further along the old stone-paved 'Takinoo Kodo'
path from Kannondo. It was built in 820 and isaffiliated with Nikko Ftarasan-jinja Shrine.
There are a variety of other places in this area thatare known to the Japanese as 'power spots', suchas Kaizando (dedicated to Shodo Shonin, thef o u n d e r o f N i k ko ) , a n d t h e K i t a n o S h r i n e(dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god oflearning).

Chuzen-ji, after which Lake Chuzenji is named,
was built by Shodo Shonin in 784 at the sametime as Nikko Futarasan-Jinja Chugushi Shrine. It
houses the oldest Kannon statue in Nikko, Tachiki
Kannon, which is said to have been carved froma standing tree by Shodo Shonin himself. It is truly
remarkable that the statue still spread its roots.
One of the popular activites at the temple is'Shabutsu', which is said to potentially grant
wishes by 'capturing' the statue's form.

a Radiant Natural Beauty- Nikko National Park Nikko's colorful landscape changes drastically with each season,and each season reveals a different view of an environmentthat can be kind as well as cruel. The dramas
that play out on this splendorous stage never fail to surprise.

Natural Beauty Forged by Ancient Mountains

A Shangrila for All Living Things

From its dynamic waterfalls and lakes to its marshy
grasslands and deep forests, Nikko National Park istruly resplendent. Its natural beauty was created by aseries of volcanoes stretching out from Mount Nantai.
About 20,000 years ago, an eruption from Mount
Nantai dammed up the valley and resulted in theformation of Lake Chuzenji and the Senjogahara
marshland. Lake Yunoko in Okunikko is thought tohave been created by an eruption of Mt. Mitsudake.
The water that flowed from these lakes became rivers,
dropped in waterfalls and enriched the land as it
continued to flow into yet more rivers. This abundantresource has allowed Nikko's habitat to develop andthrive over the course of many years. Its picturesqueand ever-changing scenery overwhelms the senses.

This pristine expanse is life itself for the plants andanimals that call it home. Here can be found one ofJapan's largest natural mizunara forests, withJapanese deer, Asian black bears, monkeys, foxes,
martens, and hares. It is also a paradise for many
wild birds, including flycatchers and waxwings. In
May, in the marshy Senjogahara that spreads out
from Okunikko, flowers of many colors come into fullbloom, including Japanese azalea, hare's - tailcottongrass, crabapple trees, and Japanese primrose.
From September to November, Okunikko is bathed indeep red and yellow autumn colors.
Each passing season tells a unique story that leaves
an indelible impression on those who come here.

Buddhist Vegetarian Cuisine - Gyoshintei
JAPANESE ONLY

There are sevenplaces in Japan that
produce natural ice,and three of thosecan be found in
Nikko. Nikko's
natural ice is madeby slowly freezing
pure Nikko water atnaturally low
temperatures. This
fine and
impurity-free ice
hardens to a thickness of about 15cm over the course of
two weeks. The ice is shaved very thinly to achieve an
exceptionally fluffy texture, and dressed with a delicious
topping. At Shogetsu Himuro, this treat can be enjoyed
year-round.

Founded around thesame time as Nikko
Toshogu Shrine, thisbusiness has spentsome 400 years
putting together aline-up of beloved
products such as
tamarizuke pickles
and miso. Nearby,
at Inkyo Uwasawa,
one can enjoy aJapanese breakfastof miso soup,
pickles, and ricecooked in an
earthenware pot.

NIKKO, the place to go!

The Origins of Okunikko's High-Class Resorts
Nikko got its start as a high-class resort in 1873 withthe opening of the Kanaya Hotel, Japan's oldest
Western-style resort hotel. At that time, Japan didn't
have any customs involving long-term vacations orresorts, but Okunikko was becoming a popular place
to escape the hot summers. Before long, a summer
retreat culture blossomed, focusing in particular on
important figures such as foreign ambassadors. Overseveral decades from around the middle of the Meiji
period, embassy villas were built for various
European countries, and many foreigners would
gather to enjoy their holidays. Since then, Okunikko
has continued to build on that history as a high-end
resort, as well as to attract guests from around theworld.

Hoshino Resort - KAI Nikko

Antonin Raymond.

KAI Nikko is a hot-spring ryokan managed by the popular Hoshino Resorts. At this inn one can experience good old-fashioned
Japanese hospitality, hot spring baths, and delicious food. The delicate 'Kanuma-kumiko' latticework decorations are quite
impressive, and upon sliding open the 'shoji' doors, a gorgeous view of Lake Chuzenji spreads out right before your eyes. With
long tatami corridors extending to the rooms and incense burning at the entrance, guests are sure to have an unforgettablestay.
