Two hours north of the city, Tōshō-gū is the most extravagant thing the shoguns ever built, buried in a cedar forest that smells like rain. The day pairs it with Lake Chūzenji and Kegon Falls, plus a tofu-skin lunch that converts skeptics. It's a long, early day with real stair-climbing at the shrine, and autumn weekends add an hour of mountain-road traffic each way.
