A UNESCO World Heritage Site - Lemitsu Taiyuin's Temple and burial site. He was the third Shogun in the Toshogu line and the one who built his grandfather Leyasu's Shrine. His Shrine was completed in 1653. It is a beautiful as his Grandfather's Shrine but not as many visitors. The stone lanterns and the landscaping around the site were amazing. The Japanese Cypress trees in the Shrine areas are amazing.

This world heritage site is worth day trip to Nikko if visiting Tokyo. Straight forward to get here from Tobu Asakusa station and then a taxi or bus from Nikko station. The shrine was built for Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate that would govern Japan from 1603 until the Meiji restoration in 1867 and is a very elaborate set of different builds made out of wood with very complex and beautiful carvings and vivid colors. One of the greatest human architectural achievements.

It is an excellent place to get away from the crowded touristic attractions. Wear proper shoes for the walk. There is also a small waterfall you can enjoy. The shrine is a kind of magical. It is an absolute must to see! :-)
