You’ll depart for the magnificent Toshogu Shrine, the lavish mausoleum of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu—considered one of Japan’s most beautiful and ornately decorated shrines. Renowned for its vibrant colors and intricate carvings, the shrine features iconic symbols like the “Three Wise Monkeys” and the “Sleeping Cat.” If you select the option with the ticket, you'll enjoy full access to explore the richly adorned inner areas of the shrine complex, including the five-story pagoda, while learning about the Tokugawa family’s lasting impact on Japanese history. If you do not select the admission option, you’ll have approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to enjoy the surrounding area at your own pace—whether strolling the peaceful grounds or browsing nearby shops and attractions.

You can walk to the observation deck or take an elevator to get closer to the base of the falls. This is also the perfect time to enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant, where you can taste local specialties like yuba (tofu skin) or freshwater fish dishes.
