You’ll hear the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant sound of a waterfall, creating a calming backdrop as you pass by intricately carved wooden structures and vibrant vermillion gates. The best time to explore Nikkō is during the quiet of early morning when the light filters softly through the trees.
