Taiyuimbyo Shrine

Reviewed By Dioc - Athens, United States

A UNESCO World Heritage Site - Lemitsu Taiyuin's Temple and burial site. He was the third Shogun in the Toshogu line and the one who built his grandfather Leyasu's Shrine. His Shrine was completed in 1653. It is a beautiful as his Grandfather's Shrine but not as many visitors. The stone lanterns and the landscaping around the site were amazing. The Japanese Cypress trees in the Shrine areas are amazing.
