What other travelers are saying about Shinkyo Bridge
Beautiful bridge with surrounding nature but not very quiet due to it's location next to a road.
Buying a ticket to go on the bridge was NOT WORTH IT at all, even though the cost is not high you can not even cross the bridge fully but just walk onto it and the views are much nicer from the street than the bridge.
The picture I'm going to attach I took from the street
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.
Beautiful bridge. Definitely visit while at the shrine and heritage site. We took photos from outside the space because it was closed but when it’s open you can pay 300¥ to cross the bridge but you can’t go all the way across as it’s blocked on one side. Still a cute little spot for photos. I’d bet in autumn, the leaves changing color makes it even more gorgeous. During the summer, it is a verdant color and lots of dragonflies are wandering around the area. We also saw an adorable orange Japanese weasel across from the bridge, almost the same color, so keep an eye out for those. They’re so cute.
Near the entrance to the shrines and temples area, this iconic red bridge is a great spot for photos and a quick visit.
⚠️Be aware that a toll of ¥300 (~ $2) needs to be paid in order to cross the bridge. Cash only
