History
The Tokugawa family mausoleum stands upon Koyasan as a reminder that even the mightiest rulers must one day surrender all they held. Glory and power return to dust. For centuries I have witnessed great leaders come and go, their dominion forgotten. All is impermanent—this is the eternal truth.
