This shrine is dedicated to Yoshida Shoin, the spiritual leader of the Meiji Restoration. On the grounds, the world heritage site "Shoka Sonjuku," where he educated young patriots, still exists, allowing you to feel the heat of that era firsthand. There are also many sights such as the treasure house displaying Shoin's personal effects and the "Shiseikan" museum, which recreates his life with dynamic wax figures. Known as a deity of learning and ambition, many students and history fans visit to pray. It is the very origin of Japan's modernization, a highly spiritual spot where you can deeply learn how one passionate educator changed the nation's destiny.
