Tottori Tōshō-gū, Shinto shrine in Tottori, Japan

Tottori Tōshō-gū is a single Shinto shrine in Tottori, not a complex. Its Honden, Haiden, Heiden and Karamon gate, all built in 1650, are National Important Cultural Properties. The Honden has a cypress-bark roof and a hawk carving above its doors attributed to Hidari Jingorō.

Ikeda Mitsunaka, first daimyō of Tottori Domain, became lord in 1632 aged three but first entered his domain in December 1649. He then petitioned the shogunate to build a shrine to Tōshō Dai-gongen, his great-grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu; it was completed in 1650 as Inaba Tōshō-gū. Renamed Ōchidani Jinja in 1874, it added Mitsunaka, his father Tadao, his uncle Tadatsugu and later Yoshinori as kami, and took its present name in October 2011.

The shrine's name changed with its era: founded as Inaba Tōshō-gū, renamed Ōchidani Jinja in 1874, and given its current name Tottori Tōshō-gū in October 2011. Its autumn festival and a Rakuchi-rakuzai market are held here, and the approach through Ōchidani Park is a known firefly spot in the city.

The shrine stands at the end of a sandō that runs through Ōchidani Park, with the Tottori City Historical Museum (Yamabiko-kan) facing the torii. From JR Tottori Station, take the Kururi city loop bus (red course) about 12 minutes to the Ōchidani Park/Yamabiko-kan stop, then walk 5 minutes. Ponds beside the path are a firefly spot within the city.

The site was originally called Inaba Tōshō-gū before it changed its name. This renaming marked a shift in how people worshipped there and who received honor at the shrine.
