Located at the foot of Mt. Futarasan, this shrine is very popular among the locals for its mountain worship. Futarasan Shrine is dedicated to the deities of Nikko's three most sacred mountains: Mount Nantai, Mount Nyoho and Mount Taro. Futarasan is an alternate name of Mount Nantai, the most prominent of the three mountains. It is mostly barrier-free and easily accessible to wheelchair users. We recommend Nikko Futarasan for a sunny day. Please see below for information in English on this shrine.
