The time honored Ueno Toshogu shrine

#tokyospots Nestled in Ueno Park, Ueno Toshogu Shrine is a peaceful gem dating back to 1627. Dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, it features a stunning gold-leafed main hall, a five story pagoda and ornate carvings that survived wars and earthquakes. Surrounded by stone lanterns and seasonal blooms, it’s a quiet escape with a rich dose of Edo history. #uenotoshogushrine #ueno
