Hirado Gokoku Shrine
平戸市岩の上町１５１７
This shrine is located near the Hirado Castle keep and forms part of the landscape of the castle town. It features a monument dedicated to those from Hirado who died in battle.
History
In 1869 (Meiji 2), the domain lord erected a monument for those who died in the Boshin War and founded the shrine as a Rekotsusha (soul-summoning shrine) to honor their spirits. In 1875 (Meiji 8), it became a government-sponsored shrine, and on April 1, 1939 (Showa 14), it was designated as a Gokoku Shrine (Patriotic Shrine).

What visitors say
Located within the grounds of Hirado Castle, this shrine is reached by climbing a slope where a large torii gate stands tall. Although the precincts have a simple and tranquil atmosphere, it offers an excellent photo spot where the castle keep is visible straight ahead from the approach path. Situated slightly below Kameoka Shrine, it also features monuments commemorating the Imperial Japanese Army.
