Nikko Inner Shrine
 

Within the temple complex at Nikko lies the final resting place of one of Japan's most famous historical figures, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who started a long dynasty of Tokugawa shoguns to rule Japan.

Getting to the inner shrine requires a climb up a long stone path with many steps that cuts through group of many very tall trees. At the top of the final group of stairs is a shrine and the remains of the famous shogun in a metalic tomb.
