First TOSHOGU and Whole Landscape of Mt. Fuji
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Shizuoka is a city where the first SHOGUN Ieyasu was buried on top of KUNO mountain. His mouseleum is still placed there silently. Once in a year, on April 7th, an annual ritual is held for him at TOSHOGU shrine.
To the shrine, rope way (sky way gondla lift) runs every 6 minutes, so it takes only 10 minutes to meet the holy mauseleum. After meeting him, you can visit the TOSHOGU museum located just in front of the shrine, where you can see the 'golden clock sent by Spanish King to IEYASU' which is one of the national treasures of Japan. The important swords or armours are also shown there.
On coming back to NIHONDAIRA by ropeway, you should visit 'YUME terrace' where you can see the panoramic view of Mt. Fuji and the MIHO Pine groves on the Pacific Ocean. The landscape there is magnificent!

This shrine is different from others. Not only buildings but existence seem special to Japanese people. The first SHOGUN, Ieyasu was buried then diefied here to guard all the Japanese people and his established feudal government by samural warriors. His tomb faces to the west to watch over still unstable nations then. Although he passed away in 1617, he has been adored and loved by the local people. One of the Chinese characters used in his first name, YASU, is used in a lot of ordinary people even now. That proves how he is popular among the local people.
