Nihondaira, a must-see sightseeing spot in Shizuoka, is a 15-minute drive away.
Nihondaira originates from the legend of Yamatotakeru no Mikoto.
From the 307-meter-high hill, you can see Mt. Fuji, Shimizu Port, and the city of Shimizu, a view that has won first place in various categories of Japan’s 100 best sightseeing spots.
Not only tourists visiting Shizuoka but also locals go to see this view, which never gets old.
In the middle of the mountain is the first shrine dedicated to Ieyasu Tokugawa, Kunouzan Toshogu.
A ropeway runs from the top of Nihondaira Mountain to Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine, making it easy for anyone to get there.
Visit Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, the sacred site of Shizuoka.
Kunozan Toshogu Shrine enshrines Ieyasu Tokugawa as its main deity, with Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Nobunaga Oda enshrined alongside him.
Just before his death, Ieyasu entrusted his vassals with his will that his remains be buried at Kunouzan.
Whether Ieyasu’s corpse is buried at Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine or Nikko Toshogu Shrine is not clear from historical documents.
What is certain is that Ieyasu himself wanted to be buried at Kunouzan Toshogu in his last will and testament, and the first place he was enshrined was at Kunouzan Toshogu.
Kunouzan Toshogu is easily accessible by car. Please stop by.
