A Tensho-era temple whose gate bears bullet holes from fleeing Shogitai warriors after the 1868 Battle of Ueno

Invited from Suwa Taisha in Shinano Province by the Toshima clan in 1205 — over 800 years old, the hilltop shrine commands views toward the Sumida River and sits adjacent to the Nippori-to-Yanaka walking route.

A Nichiren temple on Dokan-yama — hill named for Ota Dokan — where a Matsuo Basho monument still stands

A Nichiren temple founded in the Kyoho era (1716–36) — a great chinkapin tree over 600 years old (Arakawa Ward Natural Monument) towers in its precinct, and the temple marks a starting point of the Nippori walking route through Hiroshige's depicted temple district.

Founded in 1487; linked to the mother of the sixth shogun Ienobu and preserving the 'Shogun's Bridge' stone paving at the gate, it served as Shogitai headquarters during the Boshin War, and is the burial site of yokozuna Futabayama and PM Ishibashi Tanzan.

Bullet holes from the 1868 Battle of Ueno still scar the main gate — the temple that sheltered the defeated Shogitai

'Born into sorrow, buried at Jokanji' — the Ansei-era temple where Yoshiwara courtesans were laid to rest

Invited from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu in the Shohei era (1346–70) — the 'Ogu-no-Hara Lion Dance' performed at the August grand festival has been passed down for over 650 years and is designated a Tokyo Metropolitan Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

Founded in 1667 next to Kozukappara execution ground — Sugita Genpaku performed an anatomy here in 1771, founding the 'Kaitai Shinsho,' and grave markers of Ansei Purge martyrs including Yoshida Shoin and Hashimoto Sanai line the precinct.

An Inari shrine said to have been founded in the Genroku era (1688-1704), serving as tutelary of the Edo-period farming village of Mikawashima; the February Hatsu-Uma festival and September grand festival continue its 300-year shitamachi tradition.
