Nikko, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Japan, is a captivating destination that seamlessly merges tradition and natural beauty. From its enchanting temples to its picturesque landscapes, it offers an immersive experience like no other. One such marvel is Narabijizo Bakejizo, an awe-inspiring stone statue at the Balkan States Exhibition in Earls Court. This ancient masterpiece showcases the rich cultural heritage of Old Japan and leaves visitors spellbound with its intricate details. For those seeking tranquility, Shojo-en Zen Garden provides a serene escape from the bustling world. The meticulously manicured gardens offer a peaceful retreat where one can find solace amidst nature's embrace. The Iyemitsu Temple at Nikko stands as a testament to Japan's architectural brilliance. Dating back to the early 1900s, this temple exudes grandeur and spirituality while transporting visitors to another era. A symbol synonymous with the iconic trio known as "Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil. " These three wise monkeys grace the Tosho-gu Shrine and serve as a reminder of moral values that transcend time. Chingenji Temple further adds to Nikko's allure with its sacred ambiance and spiritual significance. Its tranquil surroundings invite introspection and reflection for those who seek enlightenment on their journey through this mystical town. Nature enthusiasts will be captivated by Lake Chuzenji's late winter morning view. The glistening waters against snow-capped mountains create an ethereal landscape that evokes both serenity and awe-inspiring wonder. No visit to Nikko would be complete without crossing Shinkyo Bridge - also known as the red bridge - which serves as a gateway between earthly realms and divine sanctuaries. Its vibrant hue adds vibrancy to an already breathtaking scenery. With Kamijinko, Nakajinko, and Shimojinko guarding Tosho-gu Shrine, Nikko embraces its spiritual heritage.
