Nikkō Tōshōgū Museum

This surprised me. With its size, I thought it's just a random collection showcased in a place then they called it museum. Entrance is included in the all-in ticket with the grand shrine (2,200 for adults). You can opt to just enter the shrine for 1,700. Entrance is automatic using the tickrt QR code at the gate. The exhibit showcases the Tokugawa clan's items, and of particular note is the collection of samurai swords. They have a small theater with an animated mini-movie of the Edo period. Taking pictures strictly not allowed.

One of the most ornate and well preserved religious site in Japan with amazing architecture, intricate carving and exquisite historical artifacts.

Great museum, definitely worth visiting, and visit is included into a ticket price.

I recommend the ticket to visit the tombs and museum at the same time. It’s really worth looking at everything. Beautiful collection and fascinating history!

Unfortunately no photos are allowed in the museum, but the shrines around it and museum artefacts itself are amazing to see. Make sure you cast your gaze upon Yomeimon, a national treasure, and the most beautiful fate in all of Japan. Do enjoy the animation clip of the life of Tokugawa Ieyasu, extremely educational and easy to follow with English subtitles as well.
