In the late 16th century, the city was a thriving marketplace that serviced all the villages in the area.
In fact the literal translation of Imaichi, "present marketplace," is a tribute to that heritage.
There is the Imaichi Folklore Museum for those interested in the history of the Cedar Road as well as various shrines, such as the Takino Shrine, established by Shodo Shonin, and dedicated to the gods that protect the city.

This article is about Nikko the city; see Nikko (priest) for the founder of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism.
Nikkō (日光市; -shi, lit.: sunlight) is a city located in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
Located about 140 km to the North of Tokyo, it is a popular destination for Japanese tourists, housing the mausoleum of famed shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (Nikko Toshogu) and that of his grandson Iemitsu, as well as the Futarasan Jinja, a shrine which dates to the year 767.
Kinugawa (鬼怒川; [1]; [2]) and Kawaji (川治) are twin hot spring towns in Tochigi prefecture, Japan.
Kinugawa is one of Japan's worst examples of development gone overboard: after a serious case of boom and bust, what was once a pristine mountain valley is now a graveyard of rusting, abandoned ferroconcrete hotels.
By JR You can alternatively take the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Utsunomiya, change to the JR Nikko line for Imaichi, and then change again to the Tobu line for the final leg, but this is unlikely to be worth the hassle even if you have the Japan Rail Pass.

Went on a field trip to Tochigi for the Golden Week.
Sports, eating, drinking, chatting, onsen, etc. Writing about it would require every other Japanese college phrases to be explained so I won’t bother about it here.
