Shōka Shrine, Shinto shrine in Changhua, Taiwan
The Shōka Shrine contains traditional Japanese architectural elements with stone steps leading to the main worship hall and surrounding wooden structures.
Governor-General Nogi Maresuke commissioned the shrine in 1900 following Prince Yoshihisa's death in 1895, establishing it as a spiritual center.
The shrine represents the integration of Shinto religious practices in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period through its architectural design and ceremonies.
Visitors can access the shrine grounds throughout the year, with the museum section operating from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily.
The shrine received an elevation to Grand Shrine status in 1944 when Amaterasu was enshrined, marking its significance in Taiwan's religious landscape.
