Tokugawa Family Spirit Hall
高野町高野山６８２
A spirit hall (reiya) enshrining Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Hidetada, renowned as a representative example of early modern mausoleum architecture. It consists of two structures standing side by side: the Tokugawa Ieyasu Spirit Hall (associated with the Tōshō-gū) and the Taidoku-in Spirit Hall (associated with Tokugawa Hidetada), both featuring lavish decorations.

History
This spirit hall enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Shogunate, and Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun. Construction was initiated in 1633 by the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the completion ceremony was held in 1643. It was originally located within the precincts of Daikoku-in, a representative temple of the Kōya Shōhō sect and the Tokugawa family's ancestral temple, which also housed guest lodgings. However, because Daikoku-in was closed in the Meiji era, the site now belongs to Kongōbu-ji, the head temple of the Kōyasan Shingon sect.

Located within walking distance of Kongōbu-ji, this sacred site is reached by climbing slopes and stairs. The spirit halls enshrining the spirits of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hidetada are lavishly constructed, featuring gold and silver maki-e (sprinkled gold and silver lacquer work), vividly colored decorative metal fittings, and heavy, intricate carvings. The viewing fee is 200 yen, which should be placed in a box if the site is unattended. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) can be obtained at the women's hall.
