"Toshogu" is a royal title which literally means "Sun God of the East". Toshogu shrines were built throughout the country to honor Tokugawa Ieyasu as a deity, often near temples or sites that had a family or personal connection with him. This is why there are about 200 shrines in Japan named Tosho-gu.
