Nikko National Park

Nikko, home to the gorgeous Toshogu Shrine, is one of the most beautiful national parks in Japan and, as such, is well worth a visit. The park is rich in history, and the aforementioned shrine, as well as the Buddhist temple of Rinno-ji, are must-sees. Nikko is known for its breathtaking beauty, and tourists are sure to fall in love with all of its beautiful vistas. The streams of Kegon Falls, for example, cascade beautifully into the pools below and are vividly visible amidst the dense trees on each side.

The gigantic Lake Chuzenji, which lays so wonderfully between the mountains and hills that surround it, is just beyond the waterfalls. Mount Nantai is the most remarkable of all, offering a breathtaking view of the lake. Mount Nikko-Shirane is another stunning feature of the park, with its snow-capped top striking out against the brilliant blue skies. The natural beauties on exhibit in Nikko National Park are endless.
