徳川綱吉
In 1705 the shrine was relocated to Nezu by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (1646–1709), the fifth "shōgun" of the Tokugawa dynasty, on the occasion of him choosing his successor, Tokugawa Ienobu (1662–1712). In turn, Ienobu chose it as the guardian deity. Nothing is left from the structures prior to the relocation, but it still is one of the oldest shrines in the city.
