More than 15000 artisans of the country participated in its construction and with its gildings, its bright colors, its sinuous lines, this place of worship is considered as one of the most beautiful examples of Momoyama architecture (1573-1603). Even more famous is the pediment of the sacred stables, genuinely minimalist and especially known by all the Japanese for the three little monkeys carved in the wood: Mizaru (&#8220;the blind&#8221;), Kikazaru (&#8220;the deaf&#8221;) and Iwazaru (&#8220;the mute&#8221;).

The cost per round trip is about 2800 \u00a5, the ride takes about 2 hours and is<strong> by far the cheapest option<\/strong>. The JR Pass is not valid on this route.<\/p>\n<p>info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tobu.co.jp\/foreign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tobu Line website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Limited express &#8211; Shinjuku<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The JR limited express connects Shinjuku station directly with Nikko, the cost of a round trip ticket is 8000 yen. Unfortunately, the JR pass does not completely cover the route so, it will be necessary to pay an additional charge. To book your seat just consult the JR East website.<\/p>\n<p>Info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jreast.co.jp\/e\/routemaps\/nikko_kinugawa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JR East website\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>JR Shinkansen &#8211; Tokyo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is t<strong>he fastest and most convenient way<\/strong> to get to Nikko, especially if you have a JR Pass. It is possible to take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo station, but you will have to change at Utsunomiya and continue on the JR Nikko Line. The cost of the round trip is 10000 \u00a5, not recommended for those who do not have the JR Pass..<\/p>\n<p>Info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyperdia.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyperdia website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not far from Tokyo, there is a town that could be described as magical.
