It is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled Japan for over 250 years. Built in 1617, the shrine is one of the earliest examples of Tōshō-gū shrines, which are constructed to honor Ieyasu. Situated on Mount Kunō, the site offers stunning views of Suruga Bay and is reached by climbing a long flight of stone steps.
