The buildings were renovated on the orders of Ieyasu's grandson, the 3rd "shōgun" Tokugawa Iemitsu, during his visit to Okazaki on the way to Kyoto. The "rōmon", a "Gongen" style gate, was commissioned by Iemitsu's son and successor, Tokugawa Ietsuna. Because of its connection with the Tokugawa family, Rokusho Shrine received a large degree of protection during the shogunate's reign. Up until the Meiji Restoration, only "daimyō" with 50,000 or more "koku" of rice were allowed to climb the stone steps leading to the "rōmon" and ultimately the shrine.
