The Tokugawa Family Mausoleum, established in 1643 by Tokugawa Iemitsu, houses the spirits of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hidetada. Located near Nyonindo Hall in Koyasan, Wakayama, this historical site features two nearly identical mausoleums adorned with intricate carvings and gold fittings, reminiscent of Nikko Tosho-gu Shrine. Visitors can access the mausoleum via a short bus ride from Koyasan Station, followed by a brief walk from the Namikiri Fudo-mae bus stop. While the site may appear slightly aged, its detailed craftsmanship offers a glimpse into the opulence of the Tokugawa era. A visit typically takes about 10-30 minutes, and an entry fee of ¥200 is required.
