Hōraisan Tōshō-gū, Shinto shrine in Shinshiro, Japan.
Hōraisan Tōshō-gū includes a main hall, offering hall, middle gate, ablution font, and detailed carved wood panels on its walls.
The shrine, established in 1651 under Shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu's orders, houses the sword used by Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara.
Regional daimyō contributed stone lanterns to the shrine, reflecting the complex relationship between religious institutions and political power in Japan.
