Ehime Prefecture Gokoku Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Japan. It is a Beppyo shrine, or a shrine that is particularly notable in a certain way with a significant history to it.[1] It is a Gokoku Shrine, or a shrine dedicated to war dead.[2] Such shrines were made to serve to enshrine the war dead, and they were all considered "branches" of Yasukuni Shrine. They were renamed from Shokonsha in 1939.[3] It is near Ehime University and has a bent propeller in it.[2]
In the late 1980s a citizens group sued the prefectural governor for donating to the shrine and Yasukuni Shrine. It was ruled unconstitutional.[4]
