Kumamoto Gokoku Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Japan[1]. It is a Beppyo shrine, or a shrine that is particularly notable in a certain way with a significant history to it.[2] ja:熊本県護国神社
Kumamoto Gokoku Shrine alongside Miyazaki Gokoku Shrine were completed after World War II, when the war ended and after the Ministry of Home Affairs was abolished, so they were not designated as Gokoku Shrines by the Minister of Home Affairs and are actually correctly designated as "equivalent to designated Gokoku-jinja Shrine".
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]
