Shrines and Temples of Nikko - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Shrines and Temples of Nikko are a fascinating and beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site in Japan. Located near Tokyo in central Japan, the three main shrines and temples here are a testament to Japanese art, architecture and culture. Interestingly, the complex is a mix of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, which fits with the not-overly-religious culture of Japan. There's a lot of great stuff to see here at the three main sights of Futarasan, Tosho-gu and Rinno-ji, so let's check it out!

Toshogu Shrine has many amazing wood carvings, including the most famous three monkeys, imaginary elephants, and spirit beasts. They are also restored with expensive fine paints. It is the most luxurious Japanese shrine in the world, so it is a masterpiece of human creative genius.

In fact, it is simply a "life feat" if you dare to take pictures secretly without being discovered. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4uX1LqqZ6-rZqQ.html

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest! Some sort of prayer ritual from what I could gather.
