Senba Tōshō-gū

A small but important shrine. When we were there it started to creak and shake as there was an earthquake. Pretty cool experience.

Semba Toshugu shrine was once considered the same religious site as Kitain, but when shinto and buddhism were separated after the Meiji restoration they became separate. The funeral procession of Tokugawa Ieyasu spent 4 days in Kawagoe for a Buddhist memorial service for Ieyasu. This event is believed to be the beginning of the Semba Toshugu shrine as a separate entity to Kitain. The government support the upkeep of both the temple and shrine. The shrine had some work done on it in recent years.

Lovely shrine

Just another Shrine.
