Once every 50 years, the Toshogu Shrine held a street festival Some buildings survived the atomic bombing and retain their appearance from the Edo period
It was built in the first year of the Keian era (1648) by Mitsuakira Asano, the lord of the Hiroshima domain at the time, to enshrine the spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Since Mitsunari's birth mother, Furihime, was the third daughter of Ieyasu, she was particularly enthusiastic about the construction of Toshogu, and built a gorgeous vermilion shrine at the foot of Mt. Futaba. Every 50 years since the 50th anniversary of the death of Prince Ieyasu in 1666, a grand festival accompanied by the procession of portable shrines, the ``Gosairei,'' has been held. . The Tori Festival was temporarily suspended after 1815, but was officially revived in 2015 for the first time in 200 years. The main hall and worship hall were destroyed by the atomic bomb and then rebuilt.
