Fushimi Castle - Gokonomiya Shrine

御香宮神社

Gokonomiya Shrine is an important relic of Fushimi Castle. The larger gate you see was relocated from Fushimi Castle. The walls outside the compound are also remains from Fushimi Castle's walls and you will find several stones that were also from the castle walls decorating the interior of the shrine. Some of these stones have kokuin (mason's marks) too so look out for them. This shrine is also incredibly unique in that it pays homage to both of the lords who ruled over Fushimi Castle. A Toyokuni Shrine is dedicated to Hideyoshi and a Toshogu Shrine is dedicated to Ieyasu. There is a small museum on the site that is sometimes open that houses some relics of the castle like roof tiles but it was not open when I visited.
