Lonely Planet review

Established in 1627, this shrine has the distinction of being one of the few extant early Edo structures, having survived the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923, WWII destruction and other historical disasters. The intricate decoration and the architecture of the shrine, typical to other Tōshōgū shrines throughout Japan, and the a-typical copper lanterns lining the path, are well worth the price of admission.
