Pretty lame that someone would insert "Nikko is Gay". I saw it in the History tab. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.83.252.234 (talk) 00:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] accommodations

Why do you not consider Nikko Hanabusa the same as Kanaya Hotel? Why can't accommodations from various hotels be added? I agree that you can revise my entry of Nikko Hanabusa hotel but to completely delete it is stupid. If you do, then Wikipedia practices censorship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tornados28 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I left Kanaya because it had buildings designated as national important cultural property. Just being an accommodation does not worth noting as a part of Wikipedia. Please consider Wikitravel instead. And I will delete Hanabusa link. --Soredewa 03:55, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

That's the same reason I left Kanaya in and took Hanabusa out. Fg2 04:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

OK. tornados28 —Preceding comment was added at 18:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Area

"Since the post-merger city of Nikkō's (new city of Nikkō) area is too big to calculate"

What makes the area too big to calculate? This statement seems absurd to me.

[edit] Note on importance

I've set the importance to "Mid", but as Nikko is a popular tourist destination of historic significance, an importance of "High" might be more appropriate. -- Grgcox 19:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help identifying structure

I added a picture to the gallery from my personal collection, and I'm trying to figure out what building it is. I thought I remembered it being part of the Futarasan complex, but I cannot say for sure.

There is a signpost to the right of the Torii, which might be of help.

If you can figure out which building and Torii it is, could you please update the caption under the photo?

Thanks Popoi 06:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Popoi, I added info to the talk page of the image earlier today. Thanks for contributing that photo! Fg2 06:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add Japan City Infobox

Should the "Infobox City Japan" template be added to this article? I gather Nikkō is a city. It might be strange to have both the UNESCO World Heritage Site and City infoboxes. papageno 16:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elevation

Article says it's cool because it's high. How high? Jim.henderson (talk) 19:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

200 to 2000 meters. I've added the information to the article. The most recent merger brought in a lot of mountains so it's not clear how much this changed after the sentence was written... it would be ideal if we could get a figure for the elevation of the Kanaya Hotel or the Imperial villa as an example of the old tourist center... but merging with neighboring municipalities did not make the highest point lower. Fg2 (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. One would think the railway station's altitude, or the waterfall's, would be easy to find. Jim.henderson (talk) 18:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
