Here, there is a special energy, and the air smells of cherry blossoms. From Osaka to Nikko, they traced the footsteps of the great shogun, inspired by Charles Dunn's book on Japan during the Tokugawa shogunate era. Tokugawa Ieyasu, a prominent figure in Japanese history, is renowned for his pivotal role in unifying Japan during the Sengoku period. As the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, he established peace and stability, ushering in the Edo period. Ieyasu's strategic prowess and leadership abilities allowed him to navigate through turbulent times, leading to the Battle of Sekigahara, where he emerged victorious and secured his position as the country's ruler.
The relics and ashes of Tokugawa Ieyasu are enshrined at Toshogu Shrine in Nikko and Kunozan Toshogu Shrine in Shizuoka, revered as sacred places where wishes are said to come true, perpetuating the legend of his enduring legacy.
