The Grandeur of Toshogu Shrine

Details of Nikko's centrepiece

Notice

Toshogu Shrine has been undergoing a wide-ranging renovation program since 2007 and is expected to last until March 31, 2024. Works are gradual and isolated to avoid disruption, so it is likely the impact of any visit is minimal.

Latest on Nikko Toshogu Shrine

If I am honest, I have to say that I only went to Toshogu shrine because I thought it was one of the things you just have to tick off when being in the area. However I was so wrong! This is by far the most impressive shrine complex I have ever seen since I came to Japan and it can by no means be compared to any other shrine I know. The setting itself is awesome; the colors and the elaborate decorations are unique – one can still feel the wealth and power during the Tokugawa shogunate.
