有章院霊廟奥院の最奥部に建てられた有章院(家継)の宝塔である｡徳川将軍家の宝塔は､二代秀忠が木製であったが四代家綱の時に銅製となり六代家宣まで引き継がれた｡しかし､七代家継からは石製に変更され､以後十四代家茂まで石製の宝塔が建てられた｡This is the tomb of the 7th Shogun Tokugawa Ietsugu in the inner shrine at Yushoin Mausoleum. The Tokugawa tombs are made of various materials. The tomb of the 2nd Shogun Hidetada was made of wood, then bronze was used for that of the 4th Shogun Ietsuna. This was continued up to the 6th Shogun Ienobu, then changed to stone for the 7th Shogun Ietsugu and subsequent generations up to the 14th Shogun Iemochi
