Nogi Shrine

Nogi Shrine deifies General Maresuke Nogi who was a head of army in the Russo-Japanese War at the beginning of the 20th century.

He killed himself on the death of Meiji Emperor in 1912.
His wife followed him, too.

Many people visited his house to mourn for their death.
This shrine was built next to his house to memorialize their loyalty.

The name of the hill was changed to Nogizaka.
