"Nikko city is about 75 miles north of Tokyo, near the mountains of
Tochigi Prefecture, and has long been a popular destination for both
Japanese and international tourists. Some of the more than 100 temples
were constructed in the 8th century, and today are listed as UNESCO
World Heritage Site Shrines. Nine of the temples are designated National
Treasures of Japan.
Charlton Bristow Perkins, in his "Travels from the Grandeurs of the West
to Mysteries of the East" (San Francisco, 1909), notes-"Nikko was chosen
as the site for the most splendid temples of Japan, and you will see
there the finest creations of Japanese art in combination with the
loveliest examples of Japanese scenery." Several guidebooks of the same
period noted that membership in the Nikko Preservation Society cost 5
yen and entitled the member to free entry to all the temples.
