Experience Real Edo Period with the 19th Shogun, Tokugawa Iehiro as Your Guide

【STORY】

The Tokugawa family, known for establishing the longest era of peace in the world, invites you to a special program featuring interactions with the 19th generation head, Tokugawa Ieharu. Putting an end to the turbulent times of the nation, the Tokugawa family built the 'Pax Tokugawana,' a period of over 260 years known as the 'Era of Tranquility' during the Edo period. Renowned not only as skilled military leaders but also as patrons of culture and adept organizers, the Tokugawa shoguns left an indelible mark on history. This program offers a unique opportunity to engage with the current head of the Tokugawa main family. 

Furthermore, a portion of the participation fee will be allocated to the preservation and inheritance of the family's legacy spanning several centuries into the future.

【HIGHLIGHTS】

• Special commentary by the monks of Zojoji, the head temple of the Jodo sect and the family temple of the Tokugawa shogunate.
• Relive the city of Edo and Tokyo from the top of the Sangetsu Gate Tower, which is a nationally important cultural property and is over 400 years old.
