Following the last will of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he was buried in this location after his death. In December 1617 (Genroku 3), the second shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, constructed the shrine buildings. During the Edo period, the lacquer coating of the shrine buildings was renewed every 20 years, and since the Meiji period, it has been renewed every 50 years.
