Akakawa River, which flows through the city of Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture, is said to be the site where a shrine was first established over 1,300 years ago. The current main hall, dedicated to Takamori Saigo, was built during the Meiji period (1868-1912). Red-hued roofs and traditional architecture characterize this shrine. It holds importance in Shintoism as a site of historical significance.
