Nikko, Japan

Why Walk Nikko

Nikko is home to the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate that ruled Japan for 250 years. The Toshogu shrine complex — unlike almost anything else in Japan — is an explosion of gold leaf, carved animals, and polychrome decoration set among 600-year-old cedar trees. The famous carving of the three wise monkeys ('see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil') is here.
