Aichi Sengen Shrine

名古屋市中区三の丸1丁目7−3

4.1(1179)

Located in Sanomaru, Naka Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, this shrine enshrines the spirits of over 93,000 war dead related to Aichi Prefecture from the Boshin War through World War II.

History

The shrine's origins date back to the early Meiji period when Tokugawa Keikatsu erected a small shrine to honor the souls of samurai who died in the Boshin War. In 1875 (Meiji 8), it was established as a Rekotsu-sha (Soul-Calling Shrine). It moved to its current location in 1935. Although all buildings were destroyed during World War II air raids, the shrine was rebuilt post-war under the name 'Aichi Shrine' before reverting to its current name in 1955. It is currently listed as a special shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.
