  • Ko-Ro Drum Tower and Yasha-mon Gate at Taiyu-in - Taiyu-in is the mausoleum of Iemitsu Tokugawa the shogun who was the grandson of Ieyasu. Rinnoji Temple was founded in 766 AD by the Buddhist hermit monk Shodo Shonin.  Rinnoji quickly became a popular retreat for ascetic monks who wished to meditate in the mountains.  It was once so important that it had 500 sub-temples under its rule.  Rinnoji is best known for its Sanbutsudoh Three Buddha Hall and the beautiful Japanese meditation garden Shoyo-en on its grounds.  The layout at Shoyo-en is modeled after Lake Biwa, showing the Japanese knack for representation through reduction and miniaturization.
