Aichi Prefecture Gokoku Shrine

This shrine is dedicated to honoring the spirits of war dead from Aichi Prefecture, serving as a place where families and visitors come to pay respects to those who died in military service. The enshrined kami are the collective souls (heroic spirits) of local soldiers who gave their lives for the nation, particularly during the Meiji Restoration, World War I, and World War II. Visitors seek to offer prayers for the peaceful repose of these spirits, express gratitude for their sacrifice, and pray for continued peace and protection of the homeland.
