Ueno Tozawa Palace is a shrine in Ueno Enci Park, Taitung District, Tokyo. The main sacrifice is Tokawa Kakang (Tokawa Daquan now) ・ Tokawa Jizong ・ Tokawa Celebration. The old social style is the Fushe. The official name is Tozawa Palace. In 1651, the third generation of general Tokugawa Kakuo of Edo Shogun was rebuilt on a large scale to form the present shrine. Because of the large use of gold foil, it is also known as the "Golden Palace".
This is a very interesting shinto temple built in 1627. What is particularly interesting is the Chinese-style gate (Tangmen). This temple is declared a national treasure of Japan. You can see the temple gate (Tangmen) without buying tickets, you can see the temple when you buy tickets, but the temple is not allowed inside. Tickets also cover a very attractive garden with Chinese peony (April to May), and the ticket price is 1,000 yen.
Many Japanese people come to pray and worship in the New Year, which is not allowed to enter. It has a history of several hundred years, beside which there is a peony garden that can pay to visit even in winter. The design inside the building has certain characteristics. You can visit Shangye Park by the way.
Ueno Toshogu Shrine is a stunning cultural gem, boasting intricate architecture and beautiful gardens, a must-visit in Tokyo.
Situated at the entrance of Tokyo's Ueno Entertainment Park, there is a stone carving road lined with 95 stone lanterns and 195 bronze lanterns dedicated by the great names of various countries. The peony garden in Ueno Entertainment Park is quite famous. Every May, the peony blossoms and attracts countless visitors to visit the entrance of Ueno Park. Keep watch over the prosperity near Amidan and the peace of the Gift Park.
I was overwhelmed by the number and size of the lanterns. Since Ieyasu Tokugawa is enshrined, it was a shrine that made me feel familiar.
