Nezu Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] in Tokyo, established in [[1706]] by [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]] at the site where his nephew and successor, [[Tokugawa Ienobu]], was born in [[1662]].

The chief deity of the shrine is a protective ''[[kami]]'' of the birthplace. The shrine is a fine example of ''gongen-zukuri'' architecture - the style of shrine architecture associated with the [[Tokugawa clan]] - and has been nationally designated as an [[Important Cultural Property]].
