Tochigi Futarasan Chugushi Shrine – 日光二荒山神社 – 4K Ultra HD
The Gateway to Mt Nantai, is how you could sum-up the Futarasan Chugushi Shrine. More modest that most of Nikko’s temples, the Futarasan Chugushi Shrine is in fact two places in one. The first, Chugushi Shrine, is located on the shores of the Chuzenji-ko with the Futarasan Shrine located on top of Mt Nantai 男体山 (2,486m), both of which were founded in 783 by the priest Shodo Shonin.
Unfortunately closed and inaccessible in winter the Futarasan Shrine will not be covered on this video today. We will make sure to give this place another try at the end of May when the trail opens again to visitors. However, we have to admit that the Chugushi Shrine covered in snow and empty of any kind of visitors gave us the chance to better enjoy the place, like a monk might do, when in total harmony with nature, with time frozen and where the inner beauty of the place can be revealed…
It’s yet another place that most people overlook when visiting Nikko and its surrounding area in winter, away from the crowds of tourists during the summer.
