September 24-26, 2025 | Nasu Onsen, Japan
Hosted in the beautiful Nasu Onsen hot spring region
We will prepare short visiting Nikko Tposhogu Shrine, which is one ofUNESCO World Heritage site , on 26 September. Nikko Toshogu is a shrine where Tokugawa Ieyasu (1st Shogun in Edo time) was enshrined after his death in 1616. Twenty years later, Ieyasu's grandson constructed an elaborate complex around Ieyasu's mausoleum. Its 55 buildings include eight National Treasures, notably Yomeimon, a lavish gate covered with complex wood carvings, bright paintings and gold leaf. While exploring the site, look out for a few of the quirkier carvings-a sleeping cat, angry-looking clawed elephants (the artist had never seen one), and the famous three monkeys in "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" poses. |
Plan: We will start this tour at 9:00 AM from the hotel and will back to the hotel on around 5pm. Bus will be stopped at the Nasu-Shiobara station before arrive of the hotel. |
