Serada Tōshō-gū, Shinto shrine and Important Cultural Property in Ota, Japan
Description
Serada Tōshō-gū is a Shinto shrine in Ota featuring buildings in traditional Japanese style. The complex includes several structures with copper roofs and ornate gates, complemented by adjacent temple buildings.
History
The shrine was founded in 1644 and gains significance from its connection to a more famous complex. Some of its buildings were relocated from that location, preserving its historical link to a major site.
Culture
The shrine displays traditional Japanese religious architecture with ornaments that show how people express worship here. The carefully crafted buildings reflect practices that have been observed at this location for centuries.
Practical
The site is best explored on foot, with buildings arranged in a compact layout. Photography works best during daylight hours, when details of the architecture and decorations are clearly visible.

The shrine houses a medieval sword with silver fittings and gilt decorations. This valued object was once donated by an emperor and remains a remarkable collection within the complex.
