護国社

Gifu

This shrine serves as a war memorial dedicated to honoring the spirits of local soldiers who died in service to Japan, particularly during the Meiji Restoration and subsequent conflicts. As a gokokusha (護国社), it enshrines the eirei (heroic spirits) of the war dead, providing a sacred space where families and veterans can pay respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Visitors come to offer prayers for the souls of the fallen, seek blessings for peace, and participate in memorial ceremonies that honor the military heritage of Gifu Prefecture.
