    Tochigi Pref. Ashikagashi Shouheichou 2338
    These are the ruins of Ashikaga School—said to be the oldest school in Japan—which was abandoned in 1872. The original building has been reconstructed and designated as a Japan Heritage. It is open to the public, so you can see where students studied back during the earliest days of education in Japan.

  • Shimotsuke Yakushiji Temple Ruins
    Travel / Tourism
    Tochigi Shimotsuke-shi Yakushiji 1636
    In the Nara period, this Buddhist temple was the greatest in the Kanto provinces and was known for having one of the three most majestic ordination platforms in the country alongside the Todaiji temple and the Kanzeon-ji Temple. Built at the end of the seventh century, in the mid-eighth century, it is said to have been so prosperous, it rivaled the very temples of the capital (then in Nara). Today, a portion of the site of its ruins are maintained as a public park, and visitors can view a reconstructed temple gallery as well as VR imagery which shows what the temple looked like in its heyday. The temple played a central role in Buddhism in the Kanto provinces, and excavations and surveys to date have revealed the temple had a wall stretching 250 meters east to west and 360 meters north to south, as well as 100-meter-long galleries extending in all directions.

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
