About
Buddhist mausoleum from 1653 featuring carved gates, statues and richly decorated halls.
Built in 1653, this Buddhist mausoleum rivals the neighboring Tōshō-gū in beauty while drawing fewer visitors. The site has fewer buildings but offers equally elaborate decorations. Access involves climbing some stairs.
