Kishû Tôshôgû is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Wakayama City]] dedicated to the deified spirit of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], the ''[[kami]]'' Tôshô Daigongen. It was established in [[1621]] by Ieyasu's son [[Tokugawa Yorinobu]], the first lord of [[Wakayama han]].

The shrine buildings are vividly colored in a style similar to those at [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû]].

The shrine's largest annual festival, celebrated since the shrine's founding, is called Wakamatsuri.
