Nikko (Use of impersonal passive) I was in Japan three years ago. One of the places that I liked the most was Nikko. It is said that Nikko is Japan and Japan is Nikko because Nikko represents the best of the Japanese culture. Nikko is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Japan. This town is 2 hours by train from Tokyo. It is surrounded by beautiful forests, mountains and waterfalls. It is known that Nikko has about 50 waterfalls. One of the most famous of them is the Kegon Waterfall, which has a height of approximately 100 metres. But Nikko, above all, is famous for its temples and shrines. Three of them are World-Heritage Sites. In my opinion, Nikko Toshogu Shrine is one of the main reasons to visit Nikko and, honestly, it is well worth the trip because it is simply spectacular. This Shrine is full of beautiful wooden sculptures. It is believed that all the country's carpenters specialized in temples and shrines got together for building them. It is thought that all the animals in these sculptures are symbols of peace. Among these wooden sculptures, you can find the famous "Tree Wise Monkeys". It is said that they represent "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil". It is believed that they represent the main idea of the buddhism “good thoughts, good words, good deeds”.
