The original resting place of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu — a National Treasure in lacquer and gold, clinging to a cliff over the Pacific. Reached by a spectacular ropeway from Nihondaira. Inside the grounds there are ~250 stone steps; magnificent, but plan around mobility.

⚓ The one rule

Be back on board at least 60 minutes before departure. Every itinerary on this site is designed around your all-aboard time, not around opening hours.

🗻 Will you see Fuji?

Mt. Fuji is clearly visible roughly 3–4 days out of 10, best in early morning. Check the official live camera before you commit to a view-based plan — and see our Plan B.
