Statues of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takachiyo
The statues of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takachiyo (Ieyasu’s childhood name) are located in the plaza at the north exit of JR Shizuoka Station.
Lord Ieyasu spent his childhood as a hostage, the few years before moving to Edo, and his later years as the "Great Elder" at Sunpu Castle.
The statue of Prince Takechiyo depicts Lord Ieyasu during his childhood, when he lived as a hostage of the Imagawa clan from the age of 8 to 19.
The statue of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu depicts him in his prime, during the period when he ruled the five provinces of Mikawa, Totomi, Suruga, Kai, and Shinano.
The dignified statue of Ieyasu is also a popular spot for taking commemorative photos.
