Okinawa 🇯🇵Gokoku Shrine

#2月好去地方2025 There are Gokoku Shrines all over Japan, and the Okinawa Prefecture Gokoku Shrine is located in Otakeyama Park in Naha City. The Gokoku Jinja Shrine mainly commemorates soldiers who died for their country, such as the Self-Defense Forces, police, firefighters, and other personnel who died in the line of duty. Therefore, it has a very profound meaning to the Japanese. During the New Year's Day shrine in early January, the Gokoku Shrine always attracts a huge crowd. There have been occasions when the number of visitors reached 250,000 on New Year's Day alone!
