It has been sald that to come to Japan without spending at least one day in Nikko is one of the most absurd things a trav- eler can possibly do. Very few tourists make that mistake. The Japan Travel Bureau, a very well organized institu- tion, takes good care that no one misses the chance. But Nikko is well enough known without any adventitious aids of advertising. At present going to Nikko is quite a journey, taking about four hours.

While Temitsu was directing this work he did not neglect his own posthumous glory, but planned his own mausoleum, construction of which was begun im- | mediately after his death in 1651, ac- cording to his designs, and was com- pleted in two years.

Some idea of the magnitude of these shrines, and their beauty, is given in advance by the wonderful avenue of cryptomerias, or pine trees, planted in 1648 by Matsudaira Masatsuma, a wealthy daimyo, one of the general commissioners in charge of the con- struction of the Ieyasu shrine, to afford 3 ly prised 40, trees, extending for about 223 ml!el from Utsonomiya to Nikko. despite the years and the storms and fires and earthquakes, more than 18,000 of these noble trees remain, giants, towering for scores of feet, girthed like monsters. In places are gaps in these two walls of gray-brown trunks and lacing branches, where tiny villages have been established. But it may be | 5 accepted that in every case no tree has ever been sacrificed to make room for a building. It is only in the spaces left by the death of veterans that men have erected ‘their homes. We left the train several miles to the edst of Nikko in order to drive through this avenue, narrow, worn deep below the original level by the passage of countless mill "{)fl'nm feet and of military forces in the course of near- ly three centuries.
