Editing Tochigi Prefecture (section)

== Tourism ==
Nikkō National Park is famous for its [[United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization|UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] which was registered as the 10th World Heritage Site in 1999. This encompasses Rinnō-ji, [[Nikkō Tōshō-gū]], [[Mount Nantai]], and [[Futarasan Shrine]]. The [[Kegon Falls]], also in Nikkō, is popular with tourists. To travel between the city and the falls, automobiles and buses take the Irohazaka, a road with dozens of switchbacks. In addition, 400-year-old [[Cryptomeria|Japanese Cedars]] (about 13,000 in total) line the famous [[Cedar Avenue of Nikkō]] for roughly 35&nbsp;km, making it the longest tree-lined avenue in the world.<ref>[http://www.letsgogardening.co.uk/Information/WorldRecords.htm Gardening World Records] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081014231948/http://www.letsgogardening.co.uk/Information/WorldRecords.htm |date=2008-10-14 }}.
