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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

The city itself if not a World Heritage Site. --MChew (talk) 02:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Elevation

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Requested move 5 July 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Page moved. I think that there's a general consensus to move the article as proposed, as the primary topic. This is also in line with my current understanding of the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles/Archive 27#RfC: Mandatory disambiguation for Japanese places? which addressed disambiguation for Japanese city/town articles. (closed by non-admin page mover) OhKayeSierra (talk) 19:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nikkō, Tochigi → Nikkō – There is no other serious disambiguation. Most search results end up with the town, other Nikkōs are named after it. Gryffindor (talk) 08:46, 5 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

Speedy oppose @Gryffindor: did you not see Nikkō (train) on the dab page? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:56, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing it out, but I still think it should be the main page. Gryffindor (talk) 08:46, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There are two issues here. 1) Is the city the primary topic of "Nikkō"? If not, Nikko (disambiguation) should be at the base title. 2) If the city is primary, what is the best title for it? WP:JPPLACE appears to support a general reading of WP:PRECISE (i.e. only as precise as necessary) as opposed to something like WP:USPLACE; namely, cities should not be disambiguated by the prefecture name if unambiguous. However, List of cities in Japan shows that the rule is not really followed consistently, and the rule itself is also confusingly written. For example, it says that prefectures should end in "Prefecture" except for Tokyo and Hokkaido. But if this were merely a disambiguation convention as opposed to a strict naming convention, it wouldn't be necessary to list Tokyo and Hokkaido as exceptions, as those are clear primary topics. A clarification RfC might be in order. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. The train is named after the city and it's its final (or first) stop.112.69.229.205 (talk) 05:22, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:20, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This goes against my inclinations of course, I'd prefer to disambiguate all ambiguous names. But I think King of Hearts has assessed the current policy and convention very well above, tangled as it may be. And it seems to me that the application of it is fairly clear here, even if it is often ignored. We should follow it and move on. Andrewa (talk) 06:25, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

iroha

where is iroha-zaka? it is a key feature of nikko and one of the most famous roads in the world! 2601:19C:527E:56C0:F953:D6A3:AD68:9E7E (talk) 11:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mussolini

The page's "History" section says that Benito Mussolini visited Nikkō in 1945. The claim is footnoted with a link to a Japanese book review of an alternative history novel in which Mussolini is evacuated from Italy by submarine and escapes to Japan to live out the remainder of his life in contemplation at a Buddhist monastery.

In reality, Mussolini spent early 1945 in Milan and was "summarily executed by an Italian partisan in the village of Giulino di Mezzegra in northern Italy on 28 April 1945", per Wikipedia's well-documented article about his death:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Benito_Mussolini

The statement about Mussolini's visit is not factually correct - perhaps this part of the article belongs in a "Nikko in Popular Culture" section or should simply be removed. 2601:602:8704:E935:20C2:37B8:E670:397A (talk) 18:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
