This very small shinto shrine is located in central funabashi.
Toshogu ( 東照宮 ) means a shinto shrine devoted Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) who was the founder and first Shogun (general) of the Tokugawa shogunate.
They say that funabashi toshogu is smallest toshogu.
Even small, It is a proof of history.
Ieyasu had a large rest house in funabashi.
He liked falconry.
Funabashi was on the way to his falconry spot.
You can see family crest of Tokugawa in the photo above.

That's a beautiful crest. And thanks for the interesting history!
If it's in central funabashi, it means that this small place is among modern building?!
If the answer is yes, I think it's a kind of miracle if this shrine still exists, and that the memory of that man is still alive today.
Malyss; surrounding are houses.
Not tall building.
Beautiful signs!
It seems a very quiet place. A place to concentrate on deep thoughts...
I like the symbolic crest
