Immediately following his victory in the Russo-Japanese War, Tôgô was formally received in audience by the [[Meiji Emperor]], at the end of a victory parade through the streets of Tokyo held on 1905/10/22. Though the Meiji Emperor is known for appearing in public in an army uniform, this audience was the first time he wore a navy uniform.

Tôgô was elevated to ''gensui'' (fleet admiral) in 1913. The following year, he became personal tutor to Crown Prince Hirohito. Tôgô died at age 88 in 1934. He was awarded the Collar of the Supreme [[Order of the Chrysanthemum]], and was given a state funeral. Though Tôgô is buried in [[Tama Cemetery]] in [[Tokyo]], a portion of his remains were buried at a site in Kagoshima's Tagayama Park, below a large bronze statue of Tôgô which looks out over the city's harbor.
