Tucked away in the scenic surroundings of Kunōzan Tōshōgū Shrine, the Kunōzan Tōshōgū Museum is a fascinating small museum that offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. For history buffs or anyone interested in Japan’s feudal era, this museum is a hidden treasure.

The highlight of the collection is the personal artifacts that once belonged to Ieyasu himself, including his impressive suit of armor. Seeing these items up close, especially the beautifully crafted armor, makes history feel tangible and real. The display also includes swords, calligraphy, and other personal effects, providing a deeper understanding of the man who shaped Japan’s history.
