Detail InformationEdit

Rokusho Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture in Japan. The shrine was founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1602 when the honden was constructed. The kami (deities) from Rokusho Shrine in Matsudaira county, in which the Matsudaira clan originated, were transferred to the new shrine.
In 1934, the buildings were renovated on the orders of Ieyasu’s grandson, the 3rd shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, during his visit to Okazaki on the way to Kyoto. The rōmon, a Gongen style gate, was commissioned by Iemitsu’s son and successor, Tokugawa Ietsuna. Because of its connection with the Tokugawa family, Rokusho Shrine received a large degree of protection during the shogunate’s reign. Up until the Meiji Restoration, only daimyo with 50,000 or more koku of rice were allowed to climb the stone steps leading to the rōmon and ultimately the shrine.
The honden, haiden, heiden (votive offerings hall), rōmon and shingusho (offering preparation hall) are all protected as Important Cultural Properties. Today the shrine enjoys a popularity with women praying for an easy childbirth.
