History

Hamamatsu Motoshiro-cho Tosho-gu is a prestigious Tosho-gu shrine enshrining Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ieyasu spent his youth as lord of Hamamatsu Castle and laid the foundation for the unification of Japan. Located near the former site of Hamamatsu Castle, as suggested by its name Motoshiro-cho (former castle town), this shrine holds special significance as a place of Ieyasu's legacy. Widely revered as a deity of prosperity and good fortune, it attracts many visitors seeking blessings for success. It is particularly recommended for those wishing to receive blessings akin to Ieyasu's great achievements.
