Ueno Toshogu Shrine

A Toshogu shrine in Ueno Park, founded in 1627, enshrining Tokugawa Ieyasu as the deity Tosho Daigongen. Its lavish buildings, including the golden hall (Konjikiden), survived wars and earthquakes and are designated Important Cultural Properties as rare early-Edo architecture. Paying a separate fee lets you see the halls up close from inside the openwork fence (the interiors are not open).
