4.0

This shrine is located in Miyuki 1-Chome, Matsuyama City. It was originally built in 1899 as a private shrine to the spirits of war dead. In 1939, it was designated as an official Gokoku Jinja (a shrine honoring war dead) by the Minister of Home Affairs and relocated to its current location under a new name. It enshrines the spirits of those who died during wars between the periods of the Russo-Japanese War and the end of World War II. It also enshrines people who have contributed the prefecture’s industry and culture as well as public servants who died in the line of duty.

境内に零戦もプロペラがあり隣に特別攻撃隊顕彰碑があります。また、社殿に裏にはいろいろな慰霊碑があるようです
戦没者など人間を祀る神社

戊辰の役以来の戦没者や殉職者を祀る神社で、三ヶ日には県で一番の人出となる神社とのこと。有名どころでは正岡子規も合祀されている。愛媛大のすぐそば、小高い山が迫っていて雰囲気はあります。
奥の方をぜひ。

もちろん普通に参拝するのも良いですが、奥に忠魂碑などの石碑が多くあるので、ぜひそちらに行っていただきたい。女子挺身隊の碑など、考えさせられるものが多くあります。
