Hirose Shrine
竹田市竹田２０２０
Located in Taketa City, Oita Prefecture, this shrine enshrines the spirit of Hirose Takeo, a Navy Lieutenant Commander known as a military deity. The shrine grounds feature the Hirose Takeo Memorial Hall and a cutter boat from the battleship Asahi.
History
In 1904, Hirose Takeo died in the Russo-Japanese War. To revere his character and spirit of devotion to the nation, a founding support association was established by Prime Minister Okada Keisuke and others. The shrine buildings were completed in May 1935, and the shrine was designated as a prefectural shrine. In 1948, a resolution was passed to enshrine the spirits of those who died in service to the state and public welfare within the former Naibu District, and the first joint enshrinement ceremony was held in 1949.
