About Kunozan Toshogu Shrine
Kunozan Toshogu Shrine is the founding site of all Toshogu shrines across Japan and enshrines the legendary Tokugawa Ieyasu as its primary deity. After establishing the Edo Shogunate, Ieyasu spent his later years in Shizuoka, where he passed away in 1616 at the age of 75. In accordance with his final wishes, his remains were buried on Mt. Kuno, and the second shogun, Hidetada, ordered the construction of this grand shrine.
Perched atop a flight of stone steps, the brilliant, two-story vermilion-lacquered gate welcomes visitors. The framed tablet at its center reads "Tosho Daigongen"—the divine title bestowed upon Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is revered as the deity of Toshogu shrines nationwide.
