Fukuken Kokoku Jinja (Fukuoka Prefectural Shrine for the Defense of the Nation)
〒810-0044 福岡県福岡市中央区六本松１丁目１−１
Located in the center of Fukuoka City, this shrine enshrines approximately 130,000 war dead from Fukuoka Prefecture who sacrificed their lives for the nation from the Meiji Restoration through the Great East Asian War.
History
The shrine's origins trace back to 1868 (Meiji 1), when Kuroda Nagatomo, the lord of the Fukuoka Domain, established a Chokufu-sha (Soul-Summoning Shrine) to honor domain retainers who died in the Boshin War. In 1939 (Showa 14), it was renamed Fukuoka Kokoku Jinja. In 1943 (Showa 18), the shrine was relocated to its current site, consolidating four Kokoku shrines within the prefecture. After World War II, it was known as Chusei-gu, but in 1957 (Showa 32), it reverted to its original name, Fukuken Kokoku Jinja.
