Historical place. Somehow, it is popular to Japanese because of very famous drama. It seems like this shinsa was the filming location. The shinsa was full of Japanese. Many of them came to pray and meditate. It looked good that elders and youngs visited for their pray. The flowers at the shinsa were blooming, so now migut be a real good time to go visit.

Beautiful shrine and tomb of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Amazing views of the Shizuoka bay as well as the Mt. Fuji. Look for the upside down Tokugawa emblem that represent the unfinished and imperfect nature of beauty. Illumination of the shrine during November. Take the rope way, walking up to the top could be a challenge. A must see when in Japan

Should be top of the list when visiting Shizuoka! Tokugawa Ieyasu is a big deal in Japan, and it’s awesome to learn about his origins in the Shizuoka area, visit his tomb, and see his personal collection of items in the museum. This is the original Toshogu shrine where Ieyasu’s body is buried. The Nikko one was built later. We had a special tour to go inside the main hall which was amazing.

quite like it here - it's quiet and calm, then was able to walk around with a peaceful mind and enjoy the environment. but i went there at a late time so some entrance to the temple was already blocked, i was only able to look at it from outside. but it's beautifully built. the stairs were quite large and high, so had to walk carefully especially for elderly. i spent around an hour here but i think when it's in operation hour like around noon? when all the temples are open and welcome for worshipping, it'd be good to spend more time here to refresh and relax both body and soul here.
