The temple suffered extensive damage and was all but destroyed completely in the Allied bombings of Tokyo in 1945. Several buildings on the grounds survive, or were rebuilt, but the temple grounds, which once covered the full area of what is today Ueno Park, have been shrunk considerably. The tombs of three shoguns ([[Tokugawa Ieharu]], [[Tokugawa Ienari|Ienari]], and [[Tokugawa Iesada|Iesada]]) survive, but those of [[Tokugawa Ietsuna]] and [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]] were destroyed.
