fukuokakengokoku shrine


Fukuokaken-Gokoku-jinja, also known as Gokoku Shrine, is a significant Shinto shrine in Fukuoka City, Japan. It stands as a modern testament to the Japanese who sacrificed their lives in wars since the Meiji era. The shrine is not only a place of remembrance but also a serene space where people pray for family and safety. Its unique golden facade and the massive wooden torii gate, reportedly the largest of its kind in Japan, create a striking contrast against the city's backdrop.
