Kunozan Toshogu Shrine Romon
389 Negoya, Suruga-ku, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture 422-8011
It is an Irimoyazukuri style building with a copper tile roof. Although it is not as flashy as Nikko Toshogu Shrine Yomeimon, it is a dignified gate with a sense of history. There is a gold-leafed guardian dog facing the precincts at the gate.

You can see its splendor from various angles, from the side of the shrine office, after entering the gate, and after climbing the stairs. It is truly an important cultural property! It is gorgeous and magnificent.

This is the first building you see when you enter from the side of the shrine office.
The plaque reads "Tosho Daigongen" in the official calligraphy of Emperor Gomizunoo.
The colors are beautiful, and it is decorated with statues such as tapirs.
There are attendant statues on both sides, and colorful lion-dog statues on both sides at the back.
All of them are a joy to look at.
