Red Bridge or Shinkyo Bridge is a bridge with a long history dating back to 1636. The bridge is made of wood coated with red sap. It is located amidst a valley above the Daiya River. Surrounded by trees and beautiful nature. Until it was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1999 and was ranked as one of the three most beautiful bridges in Japan. Below where the river flows, you can see water that is very clear and very beautiful.

Legend says that when the first head priest asked the mountain deities for a way to cross the Daiya river, two snakes appeared and transformed into the crimson bridge we see today.
There is an entrance fee if you want to walk and cross over on the bridge. It should be a great photospot if you are attired with props and all. Otherwise, taking a photograph from the modern bridge nearby will justify its beauty just as much. Admission closes at 3pm if I recall correctly.

Well it may seem strange but of all the sights of Japan this one has left a lasting impression. So small but just so beautiful as we walked from Joshuya Ryokan to the temples. The Bridge over the Daiya River is a sacred and is designated as a National Treasure of Japan. The bridge spans the Daiya River and connects the Futarasan Shrine with the Toshogu Shrine. It was originally built in the 8th century, but was destroyed by a flood in the 17th century. It was rebuilt in 1636 and has been preserved in its current form ever since. T

Such a beautiful spot for photographers and models or people who love nature. Went at the wrong time though. Should have gone during peak winter or during Autumn to see the true beauty.
Best time to visit: early November or late January- mid February (when it snows or after snow)

It is said that the bridge came from two snakes. Believe it or not, let's see. It is an old bridge that is beautiful.

An interesting bridge. Located next to the modem bridge. Can't say much other than its quite beautiful.
Just around the corner though is a confectionery shop that sells really nice hot buns filled with custard or red bean paste - called Soppo.. highly recommended

It’s close that day when I end but I still get to see it and snap a photo. Full of nature & very scenic.

If you're in Nikko during the winter, the Shinkyo Bridge is a must-visit attraction that beautifully blends tradition with nature. The vibrant red of the bridge against the pristine white snow creates a picturesque scene that is truly captivating.
One thing to note is that there is a fee to cross the bridge, so be prepared to pay a small amount if you want to experience it up close. While crossing is optional, I found that taking photos from the nearby bridge and capturing the beauty of Shinkyo Bridge from different angles, especially at the corners, provided stunning shots without the need to pay.
The surrounding area is serene, and the view is especially magical when the snowfall blankets the landscape. It's a great spot for photographers and those looking to immerse themselves in the peaceful ambiance of Nikko.

Come here during momiji season. It’s pretty beautiful views. Only one thing is not good that is difficult to find parking lots.

I don't know how to describe Shinkyo Bridge when I frist see it. It's amazingly beautiful amd stunning of the Art work it have few centries ago. The river under the bridge is a perfect match which gives a wonderful mixture of human work and nature
The Shinkyo Bridge (神橋, Shinkyō, "sacred bridge") stands at the entrance to Nikko's shrines and temples, and technically belongs to Futarasan Shrine. The bridge is ranked as one of Japan's three finest bridges together with Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture.
The current Shinkyo was constructed in 1636, but a bridge of some kind had marked the same spot for much longer, although its exact origins are unclear. Until 1973, Shinkyo was off limit to the general public. It underwent extensive renovation works in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and visitors can now walk across the bridge and back for an entrance fee.

Famous spot for most tourist who visit Nikko before they went up to enjoy the rest of attractions. Take a moment to enjoy the view at the bridge and encapsulate it in your moments at Nikko. This Iconic bridge remains well maintained and the vicinity was clean. I trust you will enjoy the view even more when it comes to autumn soon.

It was cool to see. Huge store on the 7th floor of the Mall.

In Nikki there are a huge amount of sights and temples to see. Walk back Don and you will pass by the bridge that you can photograph from all directions. The picture perfect location with its bright red color against the lush green forest with the river running below and fish jumping out of the water while hunting.

The bridge and surrounding red leaf landscape are beautiful in autumn. There are so many tourists that it is difficult to take commemorative photos.

Lovely place. It's a very charming town.

Very hard to not miss this beautiful bridge. Absolutely beautiful and a must see!!

Well known span. They charge you ¥300 to stroll on it. You don't have to do that, you can have pleasant chances from the road.
stroller up the slope to kanaya lodging. On the right of the primary structure there is a nursery and small way with a sign. Stroll down the steps, it's free and you needn't bother with to be a visitor. At the point when you stroll down you'll get the entire way to the waterways edge where you'll have an incredible interesting chance of the scaffold.
An attractive and representative scaffold in Nikko. You need to come investigate. The paid passage wasn't perfect. Yet, to take a decent picture you don't have to pay to enter. On the money alongside the principal street are spots to catch this exemplary perspective on the scaffold. Assuming you come at the pinnacle of harvest time, the foliage encompassing the scaffold will flabbergast.
The Shinkyo Extension remains at the entry to Nikko's hallowed places and sanctuaries, and in fact has a place with Futarasan Sanctuary. The scaffold is positioned as one of Japan's three best extensions along with Iwakuni's Kintaikyo and Saruhashi in Yamanashi Prefecture.
The ongoing Shinkyo was developed in 1636, yet a scaffold or the like had denoted a similar spot any more, in spite of the fact that its precise starting points are muddled. Until 1973, Shinkyo was off breaking point to the overall population. It went through broad remodel works in the last part of the 1990s and mid 2000s, and guests can now stroll across the extension and back for an extra charge.

Right outside the Toshogu shrine and a 10-15 mins walk from Tobu Nikko station

Good visit in Nikko. Stunning view but i think more beautiful if you take picture far from the bridge.

You can get on the bridge on the day you get married, for 300 yen. Local people do, sometimes.
