Enshrined deities
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
History
Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered its construction in 1587 CE (Tensho 15) as a Great Sutra Hall to console the spirits of war dead, and construction began under the supervision of Ankokuji Keijo. Work was interrupted due to Hideyoshi's decision to launch the invasions of Korea, and the structure has remained unfinished to this day. In 1872 CE (Meiji 5), it was renamed Toyohoku Shrine to enshrine the spirit of Hideyoshi, and in 1918 CE (Taisho 7), the spirit of Kato Kiyomasa was added as a co-enshrined deity.
