Also known as: Toyokuni Shrine (豊国神社)
A Shinto shrine built in 1599 in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto to commemorate and enshrine Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who died in Kyoto on September 18, 1598. The shrine in Kyoto holds Toyotomi's tomb, though there exist other Toyokuni shrines dedicated to Toyotomi in Osaka, Kanazawa, Nagoya, and Hatsukaichi.
Large festivals were held at the shrine to celebrate the anniversary of Toyotomi's apotheosis until June 1615, when Tokugawa Ieyasu closed the shrine "to discourage these unseemly displays of loyalty to a man he had eclipsed". The Meiji Emperor had the shrine restored in 1868, when it was slightly expanded to annex the nearby Houkou Temple, which Toyotomi had ordered to be constructed.
The shrine's Kara Mon (gate), a National Treasure of Japan, was said to have been moved from Fushimi Castle.
