The shrine is dedicated to Kisunori Nogi and his wife, Shizuko, who were martyred by the death of Emperor Meiji in 1912. The shrine was founded in 1923, and prior to that, the spirits of the couple were enshrined in a small shrine established by volunteers in the Nogi residence, where rituals and activities to pass on the spirit of the couple to future generations were conducted. If their divine virtues were to be described in one word, it would be “loyalty. In addition, he and his wife Shizuko, who were together for about 30 years, are regarded as the “god of conjugal harmony. The Treasure Hall, which displays the sword and medals of his death, is open to the public free of charge. Photo courtesy of Nogi Shrine
