Built in 1617 and restored in 1651, this Shintō shrine was dedicated to Ieyasu Tokugawa by the emperor. It is now designated as an important cultural property for its typical Edo era gongen-zukuri architectural style. The walls of the entrance are decorated by the painter Tanyū Kanō. The Chinese-style gate, Kara-mon, is decorated with dragons that are said to go to drink at night in the park pond. To the east is a five-story pagoda, Gojūno-tō, 35 m high, transferred in 1957 from Kan'ei-ji Monastery. The whole complex blends into Ueno Park.
