Nagasaki Gokoku Shrine
The shrine was started in 1869 in Nagasaki's Umegasaki area. At that time, it was called the Nagasaki Shokonsha and it was built to remember the 43 samurais who died in the Boshin War. In 1874, another shrine called Saku Shokonsha was founded in the Nishi-shima area of Nagasaki. This new shrine was built in memory of 536 people who died in the Taiwan Expedition.
