Coffin of Ieyasu is put in the Okusha-houtou. It has not ever been
opened since the establishment. The Okusha-houtou was a wooden building
at the first time, but it became stone-made later. In addition to
that, the 5th successive shogun Tsunayoshi reformed it in alloy-made
after the big earthquake of 1683. Vase, incense burner and the candlestick,
which is in shape of crane, are put in front of the Okusha-houtou.
These were present from Korean King. There are two trees near the
Okusha-houtou, and these are called Kanousugi and Fu.
