What other travelers are saying about Shinkyo Bridge
Simple and beautiful bridge, but I'm not exactly sure if it's worth the price for entry to just be on the bridge. As it can be seen outside of the fence just fine. I just treat it as a donation to maintain the bridge, especially when i came all the way here already. I may as well see it.
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.
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.
With the first snowfall of the season the previous night , the whole place wore a picture card look , with ambient temperatures at -2 it was very pleasant as the sun was also shining , the bridge was a photo spot , we enjoyed
Stunning, iconic landmark and the perfect way to begin our exploration of the city. It’s right at the entrance of the national heritage park and at the base of the mountain to the lake.
