Nikko is a town in the mountains a couple hours outside Tokyo by train. I went up with a group of 6 exchange students living in Tokyo and Yokohama, and got to explore a number of temples and shrines in the snow. These were definitely the prettiest shrines and temples I saw, except for perhaps the Golden Pavilion.
The day we went was a special ceremony, so we got to watch a procession of people blowing horns, and dressed in traditional Japanese dress.
Guard, meant to keep bad spirits from entering.
