Shiba Toshogu Shrine

Shiba Toshogu Shrine is just beside the Shiba Park, so you'll see Tokyo Tower from the approach to this shrine.

This shrine used to be a part of Zojoji Temple, which has huge territory before bombing in World War II. Temple and shrine used to be combined in old Japan.

Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first Shogun to start Edo era is deified in this shrine.
The Shrines deify Ieyasu Tokugawa are called Toshogu and we have many Toshogu all over Japan.

This Shiba Toshogu is one of the great 4 Toshogu.
Other three are Nikko Toshogu in Tochigi, Ueno Toshogu in Tokyo and Kunosan Toshogu in Shizuoka.
