"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 "
