A shrine established to honor the great virtue of Saigo Takamori and to express gratitude for his magnanimous and fair conduct.
History
Established in 1976 CE (Showa 51) due to Saigo's magnanimous and fair handling of the post-war settlement following the Boshin War. The shrine buildings are constructed entirely of cypress wood and covered with copper plates, materials donated by Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine). In addition to documents related to Saigo, the shrine houses his calligraphy and personal belongings.
