Nikko is a quintessentially Japanese combination of a somewhat drab, often shabby, functional little mountain settlement, in which nestles a pay-to-view miracle of cultural achievement: a perfect illustration of how in Japan beauty is generally regarded as specialized and beyond, beneath which no-nonsense life must be lived.
Nikko was established as a center of Buddhist religious activity during the 8th century thanks to the missionary zeal of the priest Shodo Shonin.
Nikko is north of the capital (now Tokyo, but then known as Edo) and, north being the direction from which demons are traditionally said to come, Ieyasu wanted to be enshrined as a god of the nation, protecting it from evil even in death.
