What to expect

**Stop 1: Tōshō-gū Shrine** The ultimate sanctuary of Edo art is one of Japan's most representative historical and cultural heritage sites. From the "Three Monkeys" symbolizing wisdom (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) to the "Sleeping Cat" foreshadowing peace, to Chinese sages and mythical auspicious beasts, it is an encyclopedia of Japanese craftsmanship. The vermilion halls and towering ancient cedars interweave to create a solemn aura, and the autumn maple leaves dyed with gold leaf make the scene even more breathtaking. **Stop 2: Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park/Kanmangafuchi Abyss** Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park—one of the largest existing wooden imperial buildings in Japan. The vast garden offers different scenery in each season. Cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and red leaves blaze like fire in autumn, full of natural wildness. Strolling through it, you can admire the unique architectural styles of the Meiji and Taisho periods. * When Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial
