The next place I vivisted was the Nikko Futarasan-Jinja, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Futarasan was founded in 782 by Shodo Shonin, the Buddhist monk who introduced Buddhism to Nikko. Futarasan is dedicated to the deities of Nikko's three most sacred mountains: Mount Nantai, Mount Nyoho, and Mount Taro.
There is not a charge to visit the main area of Futarasan-Jinja.

Another interesting place to visit. Do you see ladies wearing the kimono at places like these because that is how they dress or because they dress that was to go to a temple. Just noticed one in your photo.
There is so much greenery around the temples of Nikko.
Hi Pamela what a wonderful place to visit i love seeing the temples xx
There's a lot of bronze in that bronze tori! And trees provide a beautiful backdrop to the shrine buildings.
The history of these places is amazing.
It's lovely, Pamela, and again, so peaceful and very green indeed. It looks as though this was a very interesting getaway for you. At least I'd be interested!
So many beautiful shrines, and still each one is different and worth exploring :)
