[Kyoto Prefecture] Enjoy Toshogu Shrine at Konchi-in Temple

This is Toshogu Shrine, located in the Nanzenji area of ​​Kyoto, and is associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu. There are about 130 Toshogu Shrines across the country, but these three - Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, and Konchiin Toshogu Shrine - are the mausoleums left by Ieyasu in his will. Ieyasu's hair and personal Buddha are enshrined here. Unlike Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, it stands quietly, but is charming and very beautiful. Konchiin Toshogu Shrine is an Important Cultural Property, and is built in the Gongen style, consisting of a main hall, a stone room, and a worship hall. The main hall is completely lacquered, the walls are painted in brilliant colors, and the ceiling of the worship hall is decorated with a roaring dragon by Kano Tan'yū.
