Tosho-gu in Ueno Park is the real deal – a shrine dating back to 1627 Today 06:09 am JST Today | 07:18 am JST TOKYO
Tokyo is one of the world s most phoenix-like cities. Whether shaken to the ground by earthquakes, reduced to ashes by fire or bombed to smithereens by Allied warplanes, it has risen again every time. As a result, there aren t many old buildings in the Japanese capital, which makes its surviving Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines all the more precious.
Among Tokyo s most venerable shrines, few are as old as Ueno Tosho-gu (上野東照宮). The main structure was built in 1627 and is dedicated to the memory of Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), the man who unified the feudal domains of Japan and founded the Tokugawa Shogunate.
