Nikko

Toshogu ShrineThere are many Toshogu Shrines throughout Japan, and Nikko Toshogu Shrine in Nikko City is the headquarters of all Toshogu Shrines. Toshogu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the first shogunate of Japan. It was built in 1617. After Tokugawa Ieyasu came to power, he used force to break through the warlords' territories and unified Japan. After his death, he was revered as Edo. The patron saint of the shogunate is Tosho Kamijun, so the shrine is called Toshogu Shrine. Toshogu Shrine consists of 23 temples, halls and cloisters, large and small. It is located in the Nikko Mountains and is well-proportioned based on the mountains. The architecture of Toshogu Shrine is exquisitely carved and magnificent. The Japanese-style Mingyang Gate and the Chinese-style Tang Gate are its representative buildings. Among the famous sculptures in Toshogu Shrine are the "Three Monkeys" (homophones in Japanese for "Don't Listen, Don't Talk, Don't See.") and "Sleeping Cat". All buildings have been designated as national treasures and important cultural properties of Japan, and in December 1999, including Nikko Toshogu Shrine, the "Shrines and Temples of Nikko" were registered as a World Heritage.
