History

Byakko

Nikkozan Rinnoji's Kuromon, as its name suggests, is a massive gate coated in black lacquer. It is one of the structures symbolizing the dignified atmosphere of Nikko Toshogu and conveys the architectural style of the early Edo period to the present day. Passing through this gate, one can experience the feeling of stepping into a sacred space. While no goshuin are offered, its historical value and beauty deeply impress visitors.
