Tochigi Kokugun Shrine
〒320-0063 栃木県宇都宮市陽西町１−３７
This is a Kokugun Shrine that enshrines war dead and those who died in the line of duty from Tochigi Prefecture. It is a shrine where the Emperor and Empress have officially paid respects, praying for world peace and human coexistence.
History
Its origins date back to 1872 (Meiji 5), when it began enshrining the war dead of the Utsunomiya Domain. In 1940 (Showa 15), the shrine was relocated to its current site and became a Ministry of Interior-designated Kokugun Shrine, jointly enshrining war dead and those who died in the line of duty from Tochigi Prefecture. In 1947 (Showa 22), it was renamed Shotoku Shrine, but in 1953 (Showa 28), it reverted to its current name.
