Vue d'ensemble

Minatogawa Shrine in Kobe enshrines the spirit of Kusunoki Masashige (1294–1336), the samurai general celebrated as the supreme exemplar of loyalty to the imperial throne, who died commanding a vastly outnumbered force against Ashikaga Takauji at the Battle of Minatogawa on the site roughly where the shrine now stands. An earlier tomb monument erected in 1692 by Tokugawa Mitsukuni became a revered pilgrimage site for imperial loyalists including Sakamoto Ryoma and Yoshida Shoin. The shrine was established by imperial edict in 1868 and formally opened on May 24, 1872, as one of the Meiji government's first new shrines enshrining historical loyalists.
