What people say

"The Shinkyo Bridge is sacred due to its connection to Futarasan Shrine and the legend of deity Jinja-Daiou aiding monk Shodo Shonin's river crossing. It symbolises divine intervention, serves as a gateway to Nikko's spiritual sites, and is celebrated as one of Japan's top three historic bridges. Built in 1636, it was historically off-limits until 1973 "

"Strange bridge on the way to the temple. You need to pay 300 yen to walk on it, but you cannot cross it. You need to turn around and go back the same way. "
