Chibaken Gokoku Shrine - Chiba

The tour of Gokoku Shrines nationwide is also in the early stages. I can't see the future yet. The souls of the war dead, which I remember every summer. Yasukuni Shrine is a hot topic in the media and in the Diet, but Gokoku Shrine doesn't show up very often. It enshrines those who fought for the country and were sacrificed for the country. Later generations must not forget its history. Therefore, I would like to spread the existence of Gokoku Shrine as much as possible. However, I was surprised at Gokoku Shrine in Chiba Prefecture. What is said is that there are many reviews. I was relieved in a sense that I knew that quite a few people were visiting. However, there are still many word-of-mouth communication, and there are some unfortunate parts. It is a sacred shrine. No matter what happens, if you worship with a sacred feeling, you will not get angry at all. Please worship with a calm feeling. The shrine itself is modern and spacious. There is also a parking lot, making it easy to visit. It feels like Yasukuni Shrine. Please come visit us.

Due to the relocation, there were few people, and the atmosphere was rather quiet and solemn.

Postscript (April 19, 3rd year of Reiwa) I prayed on 4/18. The red stamp is only for writing. Sakuragi's new main shrine and shrine office will be built and relocated. The new main shrine is scheduled to be cleansed in February 4th year of Reiwa. The new main shrine is 4-2 Sakuragi, Wakaba-ku. -------------------------- If you want to visit during the cherry blossom season, please enjoy the cherry blossoms on the Chiba Park side and Muscari. This year, cherry blossoms and Muscari flowers bloom early, and they are in full bloom on March 29, 3rd year of Reiwa. I think it was the best day.

It is about 10 minutes on foot from Chiba Station, and the park is adjacent so you can worship quietly. It is planned to move to Sakuragicho, so it will be far from Chiba station.

It is a large shrine near Nishi-Chiba in Chiba Park. When I visited, there were few worshipers and I was quiet. The building is very big and magnificent.

The new precincts of Gokoku Shrine, which was relocated from Benten, Chuo-ku, Chiba. The impression I saw when I passed in front of me was that there were no steps and it was easy for elderly people and people with disabilities to worship.

Saijin This Chiba Gokoku Shrine has been in the role of Tatsumi, the role of Southwest, the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the First World War for about a century since the end of the Edo period in 1853. In the Manchurian Incident and the Sino-Japanese War, in the Greater East Asia War, etc. It is a company that worships as the god of "Gokoku". History With the deep thought of the Emperor Meiji, on January 27, 1897, the first prefectural ordinance, Yawara Shibahara, was inaugurated. To comfort you, it started as Chiba Shokonsha in Chiba Prefectural Government Park, and after undergoing changes such as changing the location of the company and changing the name of your company, on February 25, 4th year of the Meiji era, the center of the city. We have moved from the land of Benten in the ward to the precincts of the present precincts, and have continued to this day. Their Majesties the Emperor (Emperor Showa) and Empress (Empress Kojun) were invited to worship at the opening ceremony of the National Athletic Meet, and in the same month, the National Sports Tournament for the Physically Handicapped. Since its founding, the imperial family has been revered, as well as the citizens of the prefecture and the bereaved families, who have been worshiping and worshiping the Crown Prince (Emperor) and Princess (Empress). [Excerpt from the local information board] This is my first visit since I was transferred. The site seems to be quite compact, but anyway, it's a beautiful company.
