Tōgō Shrine

Tōgō Shrine is a house of prayer in Jingūmae featuring a memorial hall, landscaped garden, and main building on elevated ground. A pond with large colored carp completes the grounds.

The site was built in 1940 to honor Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō and destroyed during Allied bombing in 1945. Reconstruction took place in 1964 using concrete.

The site honors an admiral whose naval victories in the early 20th century made him a symbol of success. Visitors come here to ask for good fortune in competitions and important events.

From April to October, doors open at 6 AM, while from November to March, opening time is 6:30 AM, with daily closure at 5 PM year-round. Electronic payments via smartphone are accepted, though traditional credit cards are not processed.

The grounds maintain 115 parking spaces and accept smartphone payments, which is rather uncommon for traditional houses of prayer. This blend of modern infrastructure and religious tradition reflects practical adaptation to urban needs.
