Comment: Looking over the Japanese article this seems like it is much more notable than many of the other Gokoku shrines I have made articles on. But it's also weird. Is this shrine too militaristic for even Yasukuni Shrine to recognize it? I feel like I might not have enough cultural knowledge to interpret this atm.Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 08:19, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Kawanami Gokoku Shrine (川南護国神社) is a Shinto shrine located in Miyazaki Prefecture Japan. It is a Gokoku Shrine, or a shrine dedicated to war dead.[a] 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]
It is the paratrooper shrine
