History
The shrine originated in 1936 CE (Showa 11) as a Rekotsusha (soul-summoning shrine) dedicated to those who died in national crises following the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars. In 1940 CE (Showa 15), it was designated as a Kokugukan Jinja (Patriotic Shrine) by the Minister of Home Affairs and renamed Okinawa Kokugukan Jinja. The main buildings were destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 CE (Showa 20). A temporary hall was completed in 1959 CE (Showa 34), and the current main hall was completed in 1965 CE (Showa 40).
