Ueno Toshogu Shrine

This beautiful shrine was established in the seventeenth century and remains mostly intact. It’s considered a prime example of Shinto architecture during Japan’s Edo Period. The beautiful gold foil doors and intricate paintings are well worth the visit. The grounds also offer a flower garden (separate entrance fee) and a view of the nearby Kanei-ji Gojunoto (Five Story Pagoda).
