In a city brimming with ancient wonders, Luxor Temple still manages to steal the spotlight. Located on the east bank of the Nile, in the heart of modern Luxor, this temple doesn’t just echo the past—it shouts it in stone, shadow, and golden light.

Deep within the forests of Tochigi Prefecture lies a place where myth and mystery echo through sacred halls. At first glance, Nikkō Tōshō-gū looks like any other stunning Shinto-Buddhist shrine—gilded, intricate, layered with centuries of craftsmanship. But step inside the Yakushi-dō Hall, look up, and clap your hands just once. The dragon will respond.
