What travelers say:

Known as one of Japan's three wonder bridges, the "Shenqiao" in Tochigi Prefecture is located at the entrance of the Nikko Erhuangshan Shrine. It is a bright scarlet appearance and is a key cultural asset of Japan. The bridge is beautifully shaped and colorful, full of Japanese flavor. Legend has it that in the late Nara era, one day, when the monks won the road to reach Erhuang Mountain (Male Mountain) in order to practice, they were blocked by the rapids of Otani River and could not advance, so they prayed for God to bless. At this time, a Buddhist patron appeared and erected a bridge, so that the victory road people smoothly across the bank. The bridge is the origin of the "God Bridge". In 1636, the bridge was painted scarlet. The bridge was washed away by floods in 1902 and rebuilt in 1904.
