Best day trips to take from Tokyo - SilverKris

"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

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.

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 🥰

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

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.

This place is amazingly beautiful. It is a connecting bridge between heaven and earth for real. Nice and gorgeous view of the rivers, small falls and beautiful red bridge!

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.

Nikko’s Shinkyo Bridge is a sacred river crossing which officially belongs to nearby Futarasan Jinja Shrine. One of Nikko’s best-known sightseeing spots, the elegant arc of this bridge crosses the Daiya-gawa River and its vermilion and black lacquer contrasts beautifully with the natural scenery about it.
