Nikko Toshogu Shrine is a lavish memorial dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan. This stunning complex, built by Ieyasu's grandson in the 17th century, is a feast for the eyes with its intricate wood carvings and gold leaf decorations. Visitors can explore the shrine's many buildings, including the famous Yomeimon Gate and the main shrine building where Ieyasu is enshrined. Don't miss the unique features like the "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" monkeys and the Crying Dragon painting that creates a ringing sound when clapped under its head. It's a must-visit spot for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike!
