It is said that it was built under orders that should not surpass Toshogu Shrine, but it is a gorgeous building with many decorations.

Taiyu-in Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is a gorgeous building. It is built in the Gongen-zukuri style, consisting of three buildings: the worship hall, the hall, and the main hall. The roof of the shrine has a dragon carved in gold leaf, giving it an air of majesty. The ceiling of the main room is painted with a picture of a cloud dragon, creating a fantastical atmosphere. The main shrine has walls and ceilings decorated with gold leaf, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Taiyu-in Temple enshrines Iemitsu's memorial tablets and belongings. You can also see a seated statue of Iemitsu and the ``hair mound'' where Iemitsu's hair was kept.
