Famous bridge. They charge you ¥300 to walk on it. You don't need to do that, you can get nice shots from the street. 📣tip: walk up the hill to kanaya hotel. On the right of the main building there is a garden and tiny path with a sign. Walk down the stairs, it's free and you don't need to be a guest. When you walk down you'll get all the way to the rivers edge where you'll get a great unique shot of the bridge.

Such a beautiful spot for photographers and models or people who love nature. Went at the wrong time though. Should have gone during peak winter or during Autumn to see the true beauty. Best time to visit: early November or late January- mid February (when it snows or after snow)

Well it may seem strange but of all the sights of Japan this one has left a lasting impression. So small but just so beautiful as we walked from Joshuya Ryokan to the temples. The Bridge over the Daiya River is a sacred and is designated as a National Treasure of Japan. The bridge spans the Daiya River and connects the Futarasan Shrine with the Toshogu Shrine. It was originally built in the 8th century, but was destroyed by a flood in the 17th century. It was rebuilt in 1636 and has been preserved in its current form ever since. T

This is the bridge located in Nikko, like a entrance of the heritages. It has a story that love will continue when we come and pray here. It is so beautiful bridge.

Legend says that when the first head priest asked the mountain deities for a way to cross the Daiya river, two snakes appeared and transformed into the crimson bridge we see today. There is an entrance fee if you want to walk and cross over on the bridge. It should be a great photospot if you are attired with props and all. Otherwise, taking a photograph from the modern bridge nearby will justify its beauty just as much. Admission closes at 3pm if I recall correctly.

The bridge is beautifull to see and we understand they make you pay to civer maintenance. However it’s definetly not worth paying 300 yen to walk the bridge for some minutes. What more the pictures are best from the main bridge so you don’t really need to pay.

An interesting bridge. Located next to the modem bridge. Can't say much other than its quite beautiful. Just around the corner though is a confectionery shop that sells really nice hot buns filled with custard or red bean paste - called Soppo.. highly recommended

Visited late Nov, the bridge is beautiful from the outside. Did not pay to enter the bridge. Continued the walk up to the Toshogu Shrine which was littered with beautiful autumn colours. I find the least tiring way is to take the bus to Shinkyo bridge then visit the temples and walk downhill back to Nikko Station.

The Shinkyo Bridge, known as the Sacred Bridge, is a breathtaking landmark in Nikko, Japan. With its vibrant red color and elegant arches, it exudes a sense of beauty and tranquility. This symbolic bridge holds deep spiritual significance, serving as a connection between the secular world and Nikko's sacred shrines

I don't know how to describe Shinkyo Bridge when I frist see it. It's amazingly beautiful amd stunning of the Art work it have few centries ago. The river under the bridge is a perfect match which gives a wonderful mixture of human work and nature The Shinkyo Bridge (神橋, Shinkyō, "sacred bridge") stands at the entrance to Nikko's shrines and temples, and technically belongs to Futarasan Shrine. The bridge is ranked as one of Japan's three finest bridges together with Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture. The current Shinkyo was constructed in 1636, but a bridge of some kind had marked the same spot for much longer, although its exact origins are unclear. Until 1973, Shinkyo was off limit to the general public. It underwent extensive renovation works in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and visitors can now walk across the bridge and back for an entrance fee.

Very beautiful bridge, but also good enough to see from the bridge next to it. It's still nice to walk over the third most beautiful bridge in Japan

Famous spot for most tourist who visit Nikko before they went up to enjoy the rest of attractions. Take a moment to enjoy the view at the bridge and encapsulate it in your moments at Nikko. This Iconic bridge remains well maintained and the vicinity was clean. I trust you will enjoy the view even more when it comes to autumn soon.

There is a lot more to see than a bridge you have to pay to walk on for a few minutes. Closes randomly for wedding photos or groups not very consistent. You may have to wait around if you want to do it. The area was extremely congested, and the bi-poler traffic patterns is horrible. All I can say is get there really early park past the intersection if you can. It is worth it just be patient and take in the beautiful scenery.

Small bridge with a mesmerizing view behind. It is the first station before heading up the stairs to see the shrines and temples or keep on walking down the road to the Kanmangafuchi Abyss. Walking on the bridge requires a ticket, 300 yen, which is sold at the adjacent ticket booth .

Well known span. They charge you ¥300 to stroll on it. You don't have to do that, you can have pleasant chances from the road. stroller up the slope to kanaya lodging. On the right of the primary structure there is a nursery and small way with a sign. Stroll down the steps, it's free and you needn't bother with to be a visitor. At the point when you stroll down you'll get the entire way to the waterways edge where you'll have an incredible interesting chance of the scaffold. An attractive and representative scaffold in Nikko. You need to come investigate. The paid passage wasn't perfect. Yet, to take a decent picture you don't have to pay to enter. On the money alongside the principal street are spots to catch this exemplary perspective on the scaffold. Assuming you come at the pinnacle of harvest time, the foliage encompassing the scaffold will flabbergast. The Shinkyo Extension remains at the entry to Nikko's hallowed places and sanctuaries, and in fact has a place with Futarasan Sanctuary. The scaffold is positioned as one of Japan's three best extensions along with Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture. The ongoing Shinkyo was developed in 1636, yet a scaffold or the like had denoted a similar spot any more, in spite of the fact that its precise starting points are muddled. Until 1973, Shinkyo was off breaking point to the overall population. It went through broad remodel works in the last part of the 1990s and mid 2000s, and guests can now stroll across the extension and back for an extra charge.

In Nikki there are a huge amount of sights and temples to see. Walk back Don and you will pass by the bridge that you can photograph from all directions. The picture perfect location with its bright red color against the lush green forest with the river running below and fish jumping out of the water while hunting.

One of the attraction spot in Nikko. Easily accessible by Bus using 2days Nikko pass. Its has entry fee of 300¥ at the time but you cannot cross the bridge. Its only for tour and photo-shot. You can take pictures from outside and road too, so need to enter if you don’t have any historical values to Bridge. I think, it looks great in Autumn.

A popular stop for most visiting Nikko for the significance of the bridge. We were there late afternoon and we couldn’t take all the time we wanted because of a wedding party but nonetheless a beautiful bridge with it’s beautiful natural surroundings.

A quick photo spot if you are in Nikko. Not worth it to pay to cross the bridge as taking it by the street is so much nicer. There is no parking nearby so you have to park else where.

A photogenic and symbolic bridge in Nikko. You have to come take a look. The paid entry wasn't great. But to take a nice picture you do not need to pay to enter. Just right beside the main road are spots to capture this classic view of the bridge. If you come at the peak of autumn, the foliage surrounding the bridge will be amazing.

Bridge walk experience is ¥300 for adults, ¥200 for teenagers and ¥100 for children Autumn colors were good, but may be this weekend would be peak. Good view of river flowing bridge and the colorful mountains behind.

It is said that the bridge came from two snakes. Believe it or not, let's see. It is an old bridge that is beautiful.

Got some nice views of the bridge from the roadside, with the river rapids in the background. You can choose to pay a small fee to cross the bridge too.

It was very beautiful and rests over the leanest running water I’ve ever seen…. I so wish we could walk all the ay to the sides of the bridge, but I understand for protective reasons why you walk on this mat type thing, it because of the barriers I couldn’t get the beautiful picture I wanted of this beautiful bridge. It was truly a beauty in the middle of this highway looking road.

Didn’t get chance to cross this bridge but it’s beautiful. From nikko station it’s just 20-25min walk, suggest to walk rather than taking public bus due to heavy traffic plus whole street is beautiful houses and restaurants and souvenirs store.. 😊

This bridge was my first itinerary for just one day in nikko. But so far from Tochigi station. If you going there in one day only it's better you go early and make itinerary for time of train and bus..

Nice bridge with river flowing underneath and surrounded by autumn foliage. The entry fee is 300 yen per person if you want to go on the actual bridge. Cash only

The fall colors are beautiful as seen on Nov 13th 2021. Toshogu shrine is brimming with beautiful red and yellow colors as well. Entrance to the bridge costs 600円 per adult but you can take pics from outside for free.

The view was indeed spectacular; yet 300 yen just to get on the famous red bridge was a little overpriced. The nearby bridge (which anyone can cross free of charge) offers a just as good view.

Shinkyo Bridge is a nice little area worth walking past on your way to Nikko National Park. You can pay the ¥300 fee to walk across or stand with the bunch of people that take pictures from the next street over.

The bridge and surrounding red leaf landscape are beautiful in autumn. There are so many tourists that it is difficult to take commemorative photos.

The bridge is nice and the landscape is beautiful. It's closed usually and need entrance fee and ticket to walk on that. The design and color are nice. In March the area is not green or colorful and even no cherry blossom except for some few cases randomly.

Good visit in Nikko. Stunning view but i think more beautiful if you take picture far from the bridge.

Beautiful bridge, water was sooo blue and the whole scenery was absolutely straight out of a painting. There’s a fee to walk on the bridge but I honestly don’t think it’s worth it, it’s prettier from the outside!

A beautiful bridge. It's located very conveniently ahead of the Nikko Shrines and is a lovely welcome to the area. Great spot for some photos.

A classic Nikko icon, not so much of a working bridge anymore. As per usual, come early to avoid the crowds if aiming for a nice shot. Autumn would really bring this area to life.

Great historic building in Japan. You can step on it if you paid at the entrance. Some Japanese like to take pre-wedding pictures here.

Nikko is one of the best sightseeing near Kyoto. Highly recommend to visit and stay for fews days if you could , if not a day trip from Tokyo still ok , I used my JR pass from Tokyo .

Visited the bridge during late April and was alright. Not particularly spectacular at this time and there is a 300 Yen charge to even walk the bridge which we did not pay. Worth a quick visit for a shot but the world heritage sites and shrines behind are much more beautiful
