Listed as a National Treasure, this shrine was constructed in 651 and dedicated to shogun Tokugawa leyasu. A second Toshogu Shrine is located in Nikko and both were built by leyasu's grandson.

Well worth a visit even though there wasn’t any flowers really out. It’s a quiet and peaceful place and found the whole area somewhere to just chill out and soak up Japan. A photographers dream. Wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly. Kids will enjoy this place as well. Really enjoyed the surrounding temple, the copper lanterns and all the beautiful offerings.

Lovely smaller temple in Ueno Park. Free to visit and great views from this temple. Amazing tree that has bee formed into a circle and plenty of vending machines for water.

A small but very beautiful temple. You can't miss this temple, with the lotus flowers growing in the Ueno Park, Shinobazu Pond in the foreground, and the temple in the foreground makes for a stunning picture. Walk across to the temple amd explore its beauty.

Their durability from earthquakes and typhoons boggles the mind considering the era in which they were built. But this one really stands out with its stacked design and height.

It is a small shrine of Medicine. As being Tenjinsama, they have plums which blooms in February and sakuras in March. The Ookanzakura is stunningly beautiful.
