Tochigi Gokoku Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Japan. It is a Gokoku Shrine, or a shrine dedicated to war dead.[lower-alpha 1] 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.[1]
In 1996 before a visit the Imperial Household Agency inquired about potential war criminals at the shrine. [2]
