See the locations on Treasures of Nikko Google Map #treasuresofnikko

Nikko 日光 is a town at the entrance to Nikko National Park, most famous for Toshogu, Japan's most lavishly decorated shrine and the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Nikko National Park offers scenic, mountainous landscapes, lakes, waterfalls, hot springs and hiking trails. Nikko and the Okunikko area around Lake Chuzenji are well known for their beautiful autumn colors. In the colors start descending from the higher elevations of Yumoto Onsen in early October and reach the town of Nikko in the first half of November. Nikko is located along Japan's Romantic Road.
