Absolutely Beautiful shrine to see. I didn't know I took the easy way to the top until I was walking down the mountain. **The shrine has an entrance fee of 800¥ for an adult** There are 2 ways to get to the top. **Depends on what side of the mountain you are coming from!**** 1. You take the stairs up if you come from the sea side. (This is the main entrance) -do NOT underestimate these stairs, there are A LOT of stairs. Be prepared to be super tired, and bring water with you. 2. Coming from the zoo side you can take a bus ride to the top, then take the really cool ropeway to the shrine. - to use the ropeway it is 700¥ one way, so be prepared to pay that fee if you want to go to the shrine. If you have a goshuin book, they have the written seal area outside the shrine next to the ticket booth. People were nice and directed you where to go. All and all, this was a great visit and well worth the time it took me to get here. If you go, please be respectful of the sacred area, this is a religious and worship site. Conduct yourself accordingly!

Kunōzan Tōshōgū, nestled on the slopes of Mt. Kunō, is a truly captivating site that holds immense historical and cultural significance as the original resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Tokugawa clan. Before his remains were moved to the famous Tōshōgū Shrine in Nikko, this was where Ieyasu was first enshrined, making it a must-visit for anyone fascinated by Japan’s feudal history. The shrine itself is a stunning example of early Edo-period architecture, beautifully ornate with intricate woodwork and vibrant colors. The detail in the carvings and lacquer work is remarkable, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. The approach to the shrine, with its steep stone steps, adds to the sense of pilgrimage, and once you reach the top, the view of Suruga Bay is breathtaking, rewarding visitors for their climb.

I really enjoyed my visit to this shrine. It was very moving to be able to explore it and see the grave of Tokugawa. We took the rope way from Nihondaira and then walked down to the coast afterward. While i was there, there was a ceremony going on in the main temple for a newborn baby which was very interesting and educational for me to witness. We also went into the museum which was incredible. They have many personal items that belonged to Tokugawa and his descendants along with the armor worn by many individuals of his family line and swords that were used by them as well. It was very cool to see them and left a very strong impression. There are also some amazing views of the town and coast below the shrine. I highly recommend coming here if you have the opportunity.

quite like it here - it's quiet and calm, then was able to walk around with a peaceful mind and enjoy the environment. but i went there at a late time so some entrance to the temple was already blocked, i was only able to look at it from outside. but it's beautifully built. the stairs were quite large and high, so had to walk carefully especially for elderly. i spent around an hour here but i think when it's in operation hour like around noon? when all the temples are open and welcome for worshipping, it'd be good to spend more time here to refresh and relax both body and soul here.

江戸幕府・初代将軍の徳川家康公を祀る。 ・歴史 徳川家康公が徳川秀忠公に将軍職を譲り、大御所となり隠居所となる駿府城にいた時に標高３０７メートルの有度山の真向かいにあった標高２１０メートルの久能山山頂にあった旧武田軍の山城、久能城（※１）を「久能城は、この駿府城の本丸」と説いたことから、自分の遺骸は死後、久能山に葬るようにと遺命します。 元和３年（１６１７年）江戸幕府第２代将軍徳川秀忠公は久能山山頂付近に（旧久能城本丸付近）社殿を造営し、さらに家康公の遺命による日光山の日光東照宮への埋葬のための日光東照宮造営も、ほぼ同時期に工事に入ります。 そして、江戸幕府第３代将軍徳川家光公の代の時の「寛永の大造営」で久能山東照宮は日本全国にある徳川家康公を祀る全ての東照宮の総本社として、社殿、透塀、薬師堂（現在は日枝神社に移築）、神楽殿、鐘楼、五重塔（明治初期の神仏別離で解体）、楼門が造営されます。 また、久能山東照宮には幕府より久能山東照宮を御守りする役人として久能山総門番が代々守っていました。それが徳川三傑で徳川四天王の一人、榊原康政の兄榊原清政から連なる交代寄合（※２）の旗本が守りました。 ・麓から、久能山東照宮へ １１５９段の階段を登ると見えてくるのが久能山東照宮です。途中くねくねと曲がらせる階段もあり、元山城だったことを覗わせる石垣もあります。因みに久能山東照宮の宮司の方や東照宮関係者のベテランの方となると麓から山頂に通勤に１１５９段の階段をわずか８分で登って来れるとのこと。凄いです。 階段の昇り降りが無理という方は日本平山頂からロープウェイが出ていて、僅か５分の空中散歩で久能山東照宮に来ることが出来ます。よく晴れた日は駿河湾を一望が出来、日本平山頂の日本平夢テラスから富士山や静岡、焼津を一望出来ます。 ・※１、久能城 武田晴信（信玄）公が駿河侵攻の折、今川氏の拠点だった山寺兼城塞だった。当時の久能寺を別に移し、そこをさらに要塞化して築城したのが久能城で、幾年の月日で有度山と久能山の間に断崖絶壁の谷と岩肌だらけになった自然要塞となった久能城は難攻不落を誇りました。久能城の役割は駿河湾の海上監視で、武田家家臣の今福氏が代々治めました。 しかし、晴信（信玄）公が亡くなり、長篠の戦いで武田家が滅亡すると、徳川家の所領に組み込まれました。 ・※２、交代寄合 交代寄合とは、本来、１万石以下の参勤交代を必要としない旗本ですが、交代寄合は１万石以上の大名に課される参勤交代をする旗本のことで。鎌倉時代から続く名家や、親藩・譜代・外様大名の一族の１万石以下の大身旗本で、旗本でありながら領地に陣屋という巨大な屋敷（邸宅）を造り、大名同様に家老や代官を置き領内を支配し、江戸にも家老、留守居役という専門の家臣を置くことが許された者を指します。 また将軍謁見の際も、小大名（１万石以上３万石未満）の大名級待遇の場所で、謁見を待つことが許され、最大禄高は８０００石の本堂家と生駒家。一番下は岩松家の１２０石（但し、岩松家は名門・新田義貞から連なる家系）。全体的には３０００石以上の旗本が大半を占めました。 因みに、久能山総門番の榊原家は１８００石。 アクセス ＪＲ東海道・山陽新幹線、ＪＲ東海道本線、静岡駅、静岡鉄道、新静岡駅から、しずてつジャストライン日本平線で終点まで４５分（１時間ごと。大人５９０円、子供３００円） 日本平ロープウェイ日本平発、久能山行が（９時１０分〜１６時４５分）、久能山発、日本平行が（９時３０分〜１７時００分）で（大人１２５０円、子供６３０円）片道５分 自動車は、東名高速で静岡・清水インターチェンジから日本平山頂へ４０分。無料駐車場あり２００台。

久能山東照宮神社 Stopping in Shimizu during our Japan cruise, Kunōzan Tōshōgu Shrine was on the top list of must visit place. We were not disappointed. With the limited time we had, we took a train to Shizuoka station, and bus directly to the ropeway station on the bottom of Kunōzan ( a direct bus from the Shimizu station to the Kunōzan is also available, but rather infrequent) . However, on the second visit last year we decided to take taxi directly from a same cruise terminal, and saved lots of time.
