Toshogu Shrine in Ueno Park

#thingstodo Toshogu Shrine is located in Ueno Park and is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Head towards the Golden Temple from the approach, turn left and pay about 4 dollars (500 yen) to view the grounds. After paying the entrance fee and passing through the gate, you will be captivated by the magnificent sacred tree. There is a small shrine beyond that, where the leader of the 808 raccoon dogs in Shikoku is enshrined as the god of good luck and victory, so a visit is a must. When you look at the Golden Temple up close, U will be drawn to not only the beauty of the gold leaf, but also the beauty of the carvings. It is a must-see spot when sightseeing in Ueno.
