History
Founded in 1627 CE (Kan'ei 4) by Fujiwara Takatora on his estate in Ueno. According to shrine tradition, in 1616 CE (Gen'ō 2), the critically ill Tokugawa Ieyasu left a testament to Takatora and Tenkai, requesting that they create a place where his spirit could rest eternally. The current shrine buildings were reconstructed in 1651 CE (Keian 4) by Tokugawa Iemitsu.
