The Shrines and Temples of Nikko form a single complex composed of one hundred three religious buildings within two Shinto shrines (The Tôshôgû and The Futarasan-jinja) and one Buddhist temple (The Rinnô-ji) located in an outstanding natural setting. The inscribed property is located in Tochigi Prefecture, in the northern part of Japan’s Kanto region. The religious buildings, many of which were constructed in the 17th century, are arranged on the mountain slopes so as to create different visual effects. The first buildings were constructed on the slopes of the sacred Nikko mountains by a Buddhist monk in the 8th century. Today, they testify to a centuries-old tradition of conservation and restoration as well as the preservation of religious practices linked to a site considered to be sacred. They are also closely associated with prominent chapters of Japanese history, especially those relating to the symbolic figure of the great Sh**un, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616).
The unusual character of the property is the result of a combination of very important long-standing values: the 50.8-hectare property provides evidence of a long tradition of worship, a very high level of artistic achievement, and a striking alliance between architecture and the surrounding natural setting, and it serves as a repository of national memories.
日光の社寺は、自然に恵まれた2つの神社（東照宮と二荒山神社）と1つの仏教寺院（輪王寺）に1003の宗教的建造物からなる単一の複合体を形成しています。 登録された財産は、日本の関東地方の北部にある栃木県にあります。 多くが 17 世紀に建設された宗教的な建物は、さまざまな視覚効果を生み出すために山の斜面に配置されています。 最初の建物は、8 世紀に僧侶によって神聖な日光山脈の斜面に建設されました。 今日、彼らは何世紀にもわたる保存と修復の伝統と、神聖と見なされている場所に関連する宗教的慣行の保存を証明しています。 それらはまた、日本の歴史の著名な章、特に偉大な将軍、徳川家康 (1543-1616) の象徴的な人物に関連するものと密接に関連しています。
50.8 ヘクタールの敷地は、崇拝の長い伝統、非常に高いレベルの芸術的成果、建築と建築との間の驚くべき提携の証拠を提供します。 自然環境を取り囲み、国民の記憶の宝庫として機能します。
