護国神社

Gifu

This shrine is dedicated to the spirits of war dead, particularly those who died serving Japan in various conflicts including World War II and earlier wars. As a gokoku shrine, it serves as a place where the souls of fallen soldiers are venerated as kami, providing a sacred space for families and communities to honor their sacrifice and pray for peace. Visitors come to pay respects to the war dead, seek blessings for the protection of the nation, and participate in memorial ceremonies that connect the living with those who gave their lives in service.
