Description

Nikoutousyougu 日光東照宮

Is one must-see shrine in Tochigi prefecture.

But it's not just a pretty shrine is a shrine made to protect the city of Edo (modern day Tokyo), with godly powers and it cast a power line from the northern start straight to the centre of the city.

Why?

It was Tokugawa Ieyasu 徳川家康 I to keep protecting Edo even when he dies, by accending to godhood. That and more in today's episodes
