Tokugawa Ieyasu is co-enshrined at Sakae-no-Yashiro as Tōshō Daigongen, the divine title he received after death. The connection flows through his second son, Yuki Hideyasu, who became the first lord of the Fukui domain; Hideyasu's descendants produced Matsudaira Shungaku, the celebrated statesman of the late Edo period. Even in distant Echizen, Ieyasu was revered as the founding ancestor of the Fukui Matsudaira clan.
