History
Depiction of the Tōshō-gū, from the Owari meisho zue, Edo period
Tōshō-gū is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was built in 1619 (Genna 5), two years after the construction of Nikkō Tōshō-gū. It was located outside Nagoya Castle in the Sannomaru enceinte, next to the Tennosha (today's Nagoya Shrine).
The Nagoya Tōshō-gū Festival was the biggest festival in Nagoya before the Second World War.[1]
The shrine was moved from the Sannomaru enceinte of Nagoya Castle to its present location in the late 19th century.

gollark: That was a joke. You can. But it's probably better to just state your question first.
gollark: As opposed to what?
gollark: I think there are probably *hundreds* of dice bots.
