A Tram that Colores One Page of Nikko’s History
　The Nikko-Kido Line Tramway was opened in 1910 by Nikkio Electric Tram Co.,Ltd., between Teishaba-mae Station and Iwa-no-Hana Station, and was used mainly for freight transportation by the Furukawa Mining (currently Ferukawa Electric) Nikko Electric Copper Works. From its outset, it also played a role in transportation for tourism purposes in the Nikko region. In 1947, coinciding with the tourism boom which followed the recovery of the Japanese economy after the war, the Nikko-Kido Line Tramway merged with Tobu railway to become the Tobu Railway Nikko-Kido Line. It come to play a major role in transporting tourism from the Tokyo area to Nikko.
　For 15 years following its launch in 1953, this particular tram served to support the everyday lives of Nikko citizens, and provided a much-loved means of transport for tourism visiting Nikko from all around the world. It is one of 10Tobu 100-series trams that ran on the 10.6km tramway through Nikko City, from Nikko Station to Umagaeshi Station.
　However, as a result of the completion of the second Irohazaka Road in 1965, freight transportation and passenger numbers decreased dramatically, and 1968 the Tobu Railway Nikko-Kido Line closed its doors on a 58 year history. In order to preserve the much-loved industry for future generations, the tram has been restored to its original condition, and is now displayed in front of Tobu Nikko Station.

Former Nikko City Hall
　A four-story building with a Japanese Western-style hip-and-gable roof. Made of Douglas fir, rare for the time period, and a stone wall measuring 8 meters high built in part of the surrounding area.
This building was created by Shoichiro Kobayashi, a notable figure at the time, with the aim of managing a hotel for foreigners visiting Nikko. It is said that construction started around 1905 (Meiji 38), nearing completion almost 15 years later in 1919 (Taisho 8). At that time, it cost the amount of 350,000 yen (today’s equivalent of 1 billion yen). Although the name “Daimyo Hotel” was decided in reference to the landingholding magnates (Daimyo) of the Tokugawa Clan, there was almost no record of its use aa a hotel.
　It was sold to Nikko Copper Works od Furukawa Electric in 1943 (Showa18) and utilized for workers’ housing. Although it temporarily served as a social gathering place for occupying forces after the war, it was then donated in 1948 (Showa 23) as the Town Hall to Former Nikko Town. After the city system was enforces in 1954 (Showa 29) it was used as Nikko City Hall. Due to the merger of cities, towns, and villages in 2006 (Heisei 18) it become the Nikko General Branch of present day Nikko City (later changing its name to the Nikko Administration Center). However, In March 2018 (Hesei 30), the Nikko Administrating Center was added to the new government building, thus ending its role due to its shift of purpose.
　The exterior was repaired for preservation and the surrounding area was converted into a park. In April 2022 (Reiwa 4), it was reopened as the Former Nikko City Hall Memorial Park.
