Tokugawa Mausoleum
徳川家霊台
Two sumptuous mausoleum halls built by the third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu, enshrining Ieyasu and Hidetada.
The Tokugawa Mausoleum was built in 1643 on the orders of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu. Two side-by-side hōtō-zukuri mausoleum halls, with pyramid-shaped roofs, enshrine Tokugawa Ieyasu and the second shogun, Hidetada. The exteriors are decorated with fine lacquer painting, gold leaf and carvings. It is regarded as a magnificent building of the same era as Tōshō-gū in Nikko, and it is an Important Cultural Property. Admission is about 200 yen, and it is open from 8:30 to 17:00. It sits on a small hill between Nyonindo and the city centre, about a two-minute walk from the 'Naminuki Fudō-mae' bus stop.
