Terukuni jinja


Terukuni jinja is a Shinto shrine in the city of Kagoshima in Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan. This shrine is considered to be a dwelling place for the kami of Shimazu Nariakira, whose posthumous name is Terukuni Daimyōjin.

History

The shrine was founded in Kyushu in 1882 during the Meiji period.
This class of shrine was established in 1872 for the veneration of those kami who were, during life, ordinary subjects of the Emperor. Only a very small number of shrines designated as such.
