The shrines and temples of Nikko have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Here, you can visit the Toshogu Shrine, which dates from the 17th century and is a monument to (and the mausoleum of) Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of a shogunate that ruled Japan for 250 years. Travelers day-tripping from Tokyo generally focus on the sacred sites, but if you have extra time, explore the area’s beautiful waterfalls and lakes.

Approx.400 year-old house originally built for samurai warriors. After the Meiji Restoration, the house was turned into Kanaya Cottage Inn in 1873, exclusively a place for foreigners to stay during their visit to Nikko. The founder, Zenichiro Kanaya relocated the business in 1893 to open Kanaya Hotel, Japan's first western-style resort hotel. Thereafter, the house was preserved for over 140 years. In 2014 it was registered as a nationally-designated cultural property and opened to the public under the name of Kanaya Hotel History House.

I dropped in to look at the artist's work, and to watch him at work. His dragon paintings are quite beautiful. They can be custom made to have a special kanji symbol as well as colours and size. Unfortunately, I could only look as I had no space in my house for more paintings! Otherwise I'd have bought something.
