Glossary of Shinto

Hida Tōshō-gū (飛騨東照宮) is a Shinto shrine in the city of Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It is dedicated to the first Shōgun of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The Takayama Tōshō-gū was built in 1619 by Kanamori Shigeyori, the daimyō of Takayama Domain. In 1818, a sub-shrine, the Kinryu Jinja (金龍神社) was added to its precincts to honor the spirits of the Kanamori clan. The shrine's annual festival is April 15.
