静御前堂, Buddhist shrine in Koriyama, Japan

The Shizuka Gozen Hall stands as a wooden structure with copper-plated roofing and three-bay dimensions in both length and width.

The hall commemorates Shizuka Gozen, who pursued her love Yoshitsune to northern Japan but ended her life in a local pond upon learning of his departure.

The site includes a stone pagoda beneath its floor and the ancient Hariu tomb from the late Kofun period behind the main building.

The shrine sits near the Asaka Kokuzo Shrine and the former Fukushima Prefectural Middle School, making it part of a local historical walking route.

This location contains the rare monument of Koroku, Shizuka's servant, which is not found at any other Shizuka Gozen memorial sites in Japan.
