Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in Honshū
Taiyū-in, the mausoleum of the 3rd shogun of Tokugawa Shogunate, Iemitsu TOKUGAWA (1604-1651) who accomplished the isolation of Japan and expelled the foreigners from Japan, lies in the precinct of the UNESCO World Heritage Nikkō shrines and temples including Tōshōgū (日光東照宮). It has a strange dry landscape garden with numerous (315) stone lanterns contributed by feudal lords all over Japan.
Open 8:00-16:30 (-15:30 Nov.-Mar.) all years around, admission 550 Japanese Yen (Taiyū-in only ticket, 2024 price).
