Takatora Tōdō's Tea Ceremony House
Takatora Tōdō, a military commander, was ranked high by Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Ieyasu Tokugawa. This tea ceremony house was built about 350 years ago and used for the reception of shoguns who paid a visit to the Tōshōgū Shrine for worship. It was erected in memory of Ieyasu Tokugawa, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Now a trace of its former elegant appearance still remains.
