A tomb for the Shôgitai can be found today in [[Ueno Park]]. The smaller of the two main tombstones was erected in [[1869]] by a priest of Kan'ei-ji, while the larger was erected by [[Ogawa Okisato]], a surviving member of the group. Both were named important cultural assets of Tokyo's Taitô-ku (Taitô Ward) in 1990.

The smaller of the two main tombstones was erected in [[1869]] by a priest of Kan'ei-ji, while the larger was erected in [[1874]] by [[Ogawa Okisato]], a surviving member of the group. The site was cared for by the Ogawa family for around 120 years, before it was named an important cultural asset of Tokyo's Taitô-ku (Taitô Ward) in 1990. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government took over responsibility for the site in 2003.
