Toshogu Shrine

Toshogu Shrine, built in 1616, is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate. Originally part of Kaneiji Temple, it became an independent shrine in 1868. Known for its stunning peony garden, Toshogu Shrine opens the garden for visitors from January to mid-February and again from mid-April to early May, offering a beautiful seasonal display for just 1000 yen. The shrine's peaceful and historic atmosphere provides a deep connection to Japan's feudal past.

This vibrant shrine remains a significant landmark in Tokyo, blending history with natural beauty through its famous gardens.
