There are quite a few old buildings preserved on the grounds, and the whole place feels quiet and serene. The moment you walk in, it’s calming.

You can also see the main hall, which feels like a national-treasure-level landmark—so much history.

Compared to the more bustling tourist spots, this place is much more peaceful. Great for a slow stroll and soaking in the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese shrine.

I just passed by without staying overnight, which was a bit of a shame. I'll definitely come back if I get the chance next time.

Nikko is home to many waterfalls, but its most famous waterfall is Kegon Falls.
