Nikko Futarasan Shrine
The ancient Futarasan Shrine is where the Nikko mountain faith began. It has been long-worshipped as the enshrinement of カジノレオ 入金方法utara-san (another name for Mt. Nantai) god. The beautiful vermillion lacquered wooden Sacred Bridge (shinkyo) adorning the entrance to the mountains of Nikko might also be called the gateway to the World Heritage Site “Shrines and Temples of Nikko.”
カジノレオ 入金方法aith born from the mountains embodied itself in various forms at Nikko. The strong faith instilled in people during the Nara period (710 - 794) remained with them throughout the years as they made clearings in the mountains to build temples, shrines, and Buddhist statues. Many of the craftsmen settled here to build temples and shrines and continue caring for them. The monuments surrounding the area’s Nisha Ichiji (literally ‘two shrines and one temple’ made up of Futarasan Shrine, Tosho-gu Shrine, and Rinno-ji Temple) and their architecture were collectively registered as a World Heritage Site in 1999 as the “Shrines and Temples of Nikko.” We can learn about カジノレオ 入金方法orms born from カジノレオ 入金方法low of time from the past to the present through the “Shrines and Temples of Nikko.”
