The huge ornate gate you see here was also relocated from Fushimi Castle. It is designated a National Treasure and one of the big Three National Treasure Karamon Gates of Kyoto, coincidentally all connected to Hideyoshi's castles: two from Fushimi Castle and one from Jurakudai.
The Toyokuni Shrine is dedicated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was founded in 1880. Why so late you ask? Well, Hideyoshi was enshrined atop Amidagamine, in a shrine that was attributed the highest rank by the emperor. After the fall of the Toyotomi family, the Tokugawa Shogunate annulled the enshrinement and destroyed the mausoleum. Toyokuni Jinja was founded here in 1880 after the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and revived as an imperial shrine in 1898. The gate was first moved to Nijo-jo, then Nanzenji, but was moved here for the founding of Hideyoshi's shrine.
