A shrine enshrining the spirits of those who died for their country and those who died in the line of duty, with a history dating back to the Meiji era.
History
In the first year of Meiji (1868 CE), the Yasukuni Shrine was established by Shimazu Tadayoshi. In the seventh year of Meiji (1874 CE), it was renamed Kagoshima Shokonsha (Soul-Calling Shrine) under official state rites. After being destroyed by fire during the Satsuma Rebellion, it was rebuilt and renamed Kagoshima-ken Kokugoku Jinja in the fourteenth year of Showa (1939 CE). In the twenty-third year of Showa (1948 CE), the shrine was relocated and completed at its current site in Kusumota-cho.
