Healing Japan Travel
A sanctuary just a few steps from the bustling streets of Harajuku, a place where young people gather to worship General Heihachiro Togo, who led the victorious Russo-Japanese War.
The shrine is dedicated to General Heihachiro Togo, who led his troops to victory in the Russo-Japanese War.

Photos of the triumphant return from the war show a huge crowd.
The war, in which the yellow race defeated the Western nations for the first time, led to the subsequent liberation of the colonies.
And the state funeral when the general was killed was also crowded with people, people, people....

The shrine is also famous for its amulet called "Katsumori," which is named after the military god who led the "victory.
This is the shrine of the military god who changed the history of the world. Please feel it.
And please visit the shrine someday and feel the "winning" luck!

If you are interested in learning more about shrines and temples, please write to us with your questions. There are shrines everywhere in Japan. Akihabara in Tokyo is famous for its electric town, but there are shrines even in its back alleys.

I hope that when people from other countries visit Japan, they will feel the sanctity of shrines and clear their minds.

I am not an expert, but I would like to answer questions as I learn more myself. Once I have some of the questions finalized, I will put them on video. Please write to me.
