Guardians
From Nikko’s Toshogu Shrine it is a short walk downhill to the Daiwa River. A couple of kilometers upstream from the Shin-kyo Bridge, the river flows through a section of rifles and rock pools known as the Ganman-ga-fuchi Gorge. A trail runs alongside the river and a line of Buddhist jizo statues flank the path. The stone statues are guardians of babies who have died, and the adorning red bibs and hats are placed there by mothers protecting their children from the cold winter months.
