Built in 1617 and restored in 1651, this Shintō shrine was dedicated to Ieyasu Tokugawa by the emperor. Today, it is designated an important cultural property for its typical Edo-era gongen-zukuri architectural style. The entrance walls are decorated by the painter Tanyū Kanō. The Chinese-style gate, the Kara-mon, is adorned with dragons, who are said to drink from the park's pond at night. To the east is a 5-storey pagoda, Gojūno-tō, 35 m high, transferred in 1957 from Kan'ei-ji monastery. The ensemble blends into Ueno Park.
