    Tokyo Taitou-ku Uenokouen 9-88
    This was established in 1627 to enshrine Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it also enshrines Tokugawa Yoshimune and Tokugawa Yoshinobu. The shrine is located within Ueno-onshi-koen Park and after undergoing major renovations in 1651, it escaped calamities such as wars and earthquakes that followed, and is an important spot to see authentic architecture from the Edo period. The heavily gilded and splendid main building is also known as the shrine of gold. There is a peony garden on the premises and the shrine’s “peony festival” that takes place in spring is well-known.

    The shrine has been restored in the last 12 years, and what a wonderful job they have done. On approach to the shrine there are countless stone lanterns, and there are really good explanatory signs...

    こちらはJR鶯谷駅北口からすぐにある神社で、伊予水軍を率いた河野通有が、大山祇命の神託を受けて上野山内に分霊を勧請したのが創祀だそうです。 こじんまりとしていますが、綺麗で立派な神社で、当日は茅の輪もありました。

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction.
