What other travelers are saying about Shinkyo Bridge
You'll need to purchase entrance fee to access the bridge. If you just wish to take a picture, you could do it from the side walk. The other end of the bridge is blocked, so you'll have to return to the entrance point in order to continue your journey.
The iconic red bridge in Nikko is a must-see for every tourist visiting the area. The contrast of the red bridge against the natural backdrop is stunning, with the clear river flowing beneath it, offering a perfect photo opportunity.
For those wishing to take photos on the bridge itself, there’s an entry fee, but the view from outside is just as beautiful. The sight is even more breathtaking during the autumn foliage season.
Pretty bridge, great way to start the self-guided tour of the Nikko World Heritage site. We visited in late December, so the beautiful backdrop of fall foliage was mostly gone. The bridge is also next to a busy road, so not quite the serene and calm visit of other sites on the tour. We did not pay to go on the bridge, and don't feel we missed much. We did catch sight of it at night, when traffic was lighter and the sky was clear, which was a lovely experience. Definitely worth visiting when going up to and returning from the rest of the tour.
Gorgeous landmark in Nikko, walking distance in between the main shopping belt and the Toshogu Shrine.
There is an entrance fee but even without paying, you can get beautiful pictures of the bridge from a short distance.
The famous bridge that starts the adventure to looking around Nikko. This place gets busy as many people want that perfect photo.
It's a beautiful area, as underneath you here the water rushing down the mountain, and the wonderful backgrounds of the mountains in the area.
