Hida Gokoku Shrine

高山市堀端町90

4.3(232)

This shrine enshrines the heroic spirits of those who died for their country and is considered the origin of Hida Shrine. The shrine grounds are part of Jōzan Park in Takayama City and are known as Chūkō-en.

History

The shrine was founded on April 21, 1879 (Meiji 12), when a shrine building was constructed at the site of Hida Shrine to worship the spirits of Shinto-related figures in the Hida region, public servants who died in the line of duty, and individuals who made cultural contributions. In 1909 (Meiji 42), a branch spirit from Yasukuni Shrine was enshrined, and the spirits of those who died in the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars were jointly enshrined, establishing Hida Shokon Shrine. It was renamed Hida Gokoku Shrine in 1939 (Shōwa 14) and then renamed Hida Shrine in 1946 (Shōwa 21).
