Nagoya Toshogu

名古屋市中区丸の内2丁目3−37

4.1(487)

Located in the third bailey of Nagoya Castle, this historic shrine enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu. It has a history of being destroyed by wartime bombing and has since been revived using the spirit house of Lady Haruhime as its main hall.

History

The shrine was founded in Genroku 5 (1619 CE) when Tokugawa Yoshinao, the first daimyo of Owari Domain, invited the kami of Toshogu to commemorate the third death anniversary of his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and enshrined a divine image of Ieyasu. In 1876, the shrine was moved to its current location. However, most of its structures were destroyed during the Great Air Raid on Nagoya in 1945. In 1953, after the war, the shrine was revived by relocating the spirit house of Lady Haruhime, the principal wife of Tokugawa Yoshinao, from Kenchu-ji Temple to serve as the main hall.
