"A striking, historic bridge that marks the entrance to Nikko’s shrines and temples and is traditionally regarded as one of Japan’s three finest bridges, making it a photo-worthy gateway to the sacred precincts." - James Wong
The views are amazing both day and night. But i prefer during day time. Visited the bridge early on November so its the start of autumn season and the view is already breathtaking. Oh and I really like how accessible it is from the station. The public transportation is servin

Beautiful red bridge with the stunning fall colours as the backdrop and running river foreground made it a popular tourist spot.
Consider visiting it early in the morning or after 3.30pm. Less tourists and cleaner photo.
Crossing the bridge did incur a cost.

We just want to see the bridge itself because it is one of the recommended places here in Nikko. If you want to cross the bridge, there's a fee. We weren't able to try it since we still need to go to Toshogu Shrine. Maybe we will try again next time!!

Such a cute bridge in a truly beautiful area! This entire region was a joy to explore on foot. Every discovered nook and cranny brought a new delight to the senses. Each turn more enjoyable than the last. Perfect place to sit and enjoy a picnic or simply relax and listen to the river tell you stories of the past. Equally breathtaking day or night 🥰

Easy to access, can take a 5 min bus ride to avoid the slight incline walk from the station. You have to pay to actually go on the bridge so we just admired from afar.

Very pretty but I have to say, I was a bit annoyed there was a fee to cross the actual bridge.
I understand the need to maintain a historical site and maybe I am not understanding the cultural background of the bridge.
However you have a normal bridge to cross next to it and it allows you a very nice view.
Would still recommend.

The vibe is nice and it’s not crowded. The weather’s cool, and there are food stalls and souvenir shops along the way. You can just walk around, enjoy the place, and grab snacks as you go.

The most famous point of Nikko, hystorical and sacred wood bridge with a beautiful view.
After this itinerary you can arrive easily to the start point of UNESCO World Heritage sites of Nikko.
