Kunōzan Tōshō-gū久能山東照宮
Kunōzan Tōshō-gū is a Shinto shrine that houses the original grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate, making it the oldest Tōshō-gū shrine in Japan. Its primary kami is the deified spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Tōshō-Daigongen, with secondary kami being the spirits of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga. After the fall of the Tokugawa the shrine lost several structures and much of its revenue.
The shrine also has a museum showcasing art treasures and documents related to Tokugawa Ieyasu, including some Important Cultural Properties and one National Treasure.
It was designated as a National Treasure in 2010.
