==Geography==
Nikkō covers a large area (1,449.83 km²) of rural northwestern Tochigi approximately 140 km north of Tokyo and 35 km west of Utsunomiya, the capital of Tochigi Prefecture. It is the third-largest city (by area) in Japan, behind Takayama and Hamamatsu.
Both the Watarase River and the Kinugawa River pass through the city. Lake Chūzenji and the Kegon Falls lie in Nikkō, as does the Nikko Botanical Garden. The city's many mountains and waterfalls have made it an important source of hydroelectric power. The area has also been used for mining copper, aluminum and concrete.
The weather in Nikkō is fairly similar to that of the northern island of Hokkaidō even though Nikkō is much closer to Tokyo than Hokkaidō. The elevation of Nikkō plays an important role in this fact. It will usually get cooler as one ascends the mountain. The average temperature of Nikkō is around 7 °C (44 °F) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NIKKO, 24-hr Average Temperature )〕 with the warmest months reaching only about 22 °C (72 °F)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NIKKO, Average Maximum Temperature )〕 and the coldest reaching down to about -8 °C (17 °F).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NIKKO, Average Minimum Temperature )〕
