This temple belongs to the Tendai Sect of Buddhism and one of the three largest temples for the followers of this sect.
Two main buildings are part of this temple. One is called Sanbutsu-do, which houses three large statues of Buddha, which are wrapped by Gold. Unfortunately we are not allowed to video the insides of these statues. The second is Dai Goma-do, which is used to conduct Goma, which is a Buddhist ritual that involves creating a Holy Fire to pray to Lord Buddha.
There is also a large bronze lantern and a piller located in the temple precincts. The name of the piller is Sorinto Piller. It is built to commemorate world peace.

This temple is mostly known as the mausoleum of the third Tokugawa shogun Iemitsu (grandson of the first Tokugawa, Ieyasu). It's architectural technique and style as well as the arrangement of the buildings are virtually the same as those of the original Toshogu Shrine in Nikko. Various gates approaching the main temple hall, are as extravagant as the original Nikko Toshogu shrine.
Hope you get a chance to visit this temple and enjoy it.

Futarasan Shrine, Nikko, Japan
Founded by the Shodo Shonin in 782, this shrine is dedicated to the gods of the mountains.
Nikko (Japan) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Nikko in Japan.
North of Tokyo, and surrounded by extensive woodland, is the shrine complex of Nikko. The elegant Taiyuin-Byo Shrine uniquely combines the shrine and temple architecture of the Momayama Era. The Futarasan Shrine lies opposite, almost hidden within the hills and forests which, particularly in autumn, enchant with a blaze of vivid colour. The first Tokugawa-Shogun, Ieyasu, left precise regulations for his burial. As both an incarnation of a Buddhist and Shinto deity, the powerful ruler wanted to protect his empire even in death. Twenty years after Ieyasu‘s demise, his grandson Iemitsu assembled up to fifteen thousand craftsmen and over a hundred of the most important artists of the time. Influenced by the Chinese Kano School, and in only two years of construction, they created massive monuments on the edge of the Nikko Mountains, the complex of which comprises both a Buddhist and Shinto area. Past a five-storey pagoda and stone and bronze lanterns, the route leads to the Holy Stable. Three Wise Monkeys decorate the building which see, hear and speak no evil. For two years, craftsmen were constantly busy with construction work, design, gilding, painting and varnishing. Thus, without doubt, came into being the most powerful and magnificent temple complex in Japan. Nikko encapsulates history, highly-revered burial ground and a refuge of faith.

Taiyu-in Temple in NIkko, Japan.
Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Tochigi
Fantastic Places in Cool Japan :
Speaking of Nikko in Tochigi, “Nikko Toshogu” comes to mind first. In fact, there are other historical shrines and temples such as Nikko Futarasan Shrine and Nikko Sanrinnoji Temple. Together, these three were registered as World Heritage Sites in 1999.
Nikko Toshogu Shrine was built in 1636 by Iemitsu TOKUGAWA, 3rd Tokugawa Shogun, to worship his grandfather Ieyasu. It was based on Ieyasu’s testimony: “After a year, let me build a small temple in Nikko and worship it.”
In 1616 Ieyasu Tokugawa died in Suruga. In April of the following year, the main building of Toshogu Shrine was completed, and Toshodai Gongen (Ieyasu) was enshrined at Nikko Toshogu Shrine.
