"The Imperial Villa was our first stop and one of my favorite things in Nikko. It was the summer residence/retreat for the emperor, built in a traditional style during a time of transition from traditional to Western design. The Emperor actually lived there through part of WWII (note the bomb shelter..."s in the gardens). I love walking through this sort of thing. Not everyone is as enthusiastic about reading the cards about the history and use and examining the displays about construction and restoration. But it is very interesting even if you just enjoy walking through the corridors, peeking into the rooms, and strolling the gardens.
Something you will notice as you visit various castles in Japan, there are not too many places like this around. The wood and paper residences usually burned a long time ago.
Depending on your level of interest, your visit will likely be somewhere between 45 and 90 minutes including the gardens.

"It is a long trip by train to come here (a bit more than 2 hours), the entrance fee is not cheap, but for experiencing some real japanese culture and architecture this is THE place to visit. All the shrines are really beautiful and extremely interesting.
After seeing all the ugly buildings in the T..."okyo area (and many some small shrines there) I was really happy to get a glimpse of this work of art at Nikko with all its shrines and nature.
