Iwate Gokoku Shrine
〒020-0872 岩手県盛岡市八幡町１３−２
A shrine that enshrines the spirits of patriots who died during the Meiji Restoration and various military campaigns across Japan.
History
Founded in 1869 (Meiji 2) in Higashi-Nakano, Morioka City, to enshrine patriots who died during the Meiji Restoration. It later became a government-sponsored Rekotsu Shrine (Soul-Calling Shrine) and began enshrining the spirits of those who perished in battles such as the Boshin War and the Russo-Japanese War. In 1906 (Meiji 39), it was relocated to the grounds of Hachimangu Shrine. In 1939 (Showa 14), the current shrine buildings were constructed, and it was renamed Iwate Gokoku Shrine.

What visitors say
Located next to Morioka Hachimangu Shrine, this site has a solemn atmosphere surrounded by a sacred forest. While not flashy, its feature is the ability to worship quietly. The grounds are covered with gravel and have steps, so visitors with mobility issues may find it easier to access the worship hall by using the dedicated parking lot accessible via the slope of the nearby Inari Shrine. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the adjacent Morioka Hachimangu Shrine.
