Hokkaido Gokoku Shrine 北海道護国神社
63,141 war dead from Hokkaido and Sakhalin commemorated here, under a name that has changed three times.
It stands in Asahikawa. It is one of the gokoku jinja (Shinto shrines established in every prefecture from the Meiji era onwards to commemorate the local soldiers who died in war), and, unlike an ordinary shrine, its whole purpose is commemorative.
