History
This shrine enshrines the spirits of patriots, primarily Mito domain samurai, who died for their country during the turmoil of the late Edo period. The name is derived from the work 'Kaiten Shishi' by Fujita Tokuko. It originated in 1870 CE (Meiji 3) with the burial of patriots who fell in the Tengu Party Rebellion. In 1933 CE (Shōwa 8), a Chokontō (Tower of Loyal Souls) was erected with the patronage of Tanaka Mitsuteru. In 1969 CE (Shōwa 44), the main hall (honden), worship hall (haiden), and other shrine buildings were constructed based on the proposal of Konosuke Matsushita and others.
