History
Established on January 1, 1880 (Meiji 13), as a place of worship to honor the spirits of those who died in the Satsuma Rebellion. The shrine name 'Nanshu Shrine' was officially granted in June 1922 (Taisho 11). Although the shrine was destroyed by fire during wartime damage in 1945 (Showa 20), the main hall (honden) was rebuilt in 1957 (Showa 32). The reconstruction project was largely completed in 1970 (Showa 45) with the finishing of the worship hall (haiden).
